Brief analysis with a gender perspective on university education

Abstract

This article proposes a reflection about the possibility of building a non-sexist education, initially reviewing key facts of the general history of the relationship between women and university education, and retaking several pertinent theoretical guidelines, to finally describe some mechanisms of exclusion that threaten the academic and professional trajectory of women. The purpose of this reflection is to analyze the academic movement critically and historically-socially contextualized in terms of sexism in higher education. A deep analysis regarding the causal relationships of the situation requires a greater analytical framework that inspects the multiple ways in which women have been excluded and discriminated against in universities, considering that within these discriminations there are epistemic categories related to the formation of an androcentrically cannon. legitimized. As on the other hand, part of the analysis falls on perceiving how the gender order is expressed in the educational structure, conditioning as a consequence the daily living of all members of the community.
