A new cycle of conferences of the Raúl Bitrán Nachry Chair will start in the University of La Serena, which this year will address the “Construction of Inclusive Universities for Human Development”.

The cycle of presentations, with free entry, will focus on educational and social inclusion of excluded groups, and will begin with the conference: “From Women to Gender: Implications for inclusion”, next Wednesday, April 17 at 11:30 a.m. in the Aula Magna Ignacio Domeyko (Benavente 980, La Serena).

The activity will have as speakers the academic from the University of Chile, Dr. Sonia Montecino, and the academic U. de La Serena, Mg. Natalia Guerrero, where both will analyze the evolution of the process of social and cultural construction of the gender category, as a focus of analysis, with the purpose of understanding gender relations and their implications for human development.

Furthermore, the activity will analyze the complexity of a fact such as the sexual difference between the feminine and the masculine, on which gender is built, which leads to the question: what is the true difference between sexual bodies and human beings? socially constructed?

The cycle focused on this topic is organized by the Directorate of Liaison with the Environment and Extension, together with the Office of Inclusion and Disability (Project 1799), considering this process as a fundamental human right, as indicated by international organizations.
