This interdisciplinary group is mainly dedicated to the analysis of discourses on gender difference in philosophical thought, normative patterns and social imaginaries, both from a historical perspective and in the present, paying particular attention to the incorporation, rejection or negotiation of models by women and men in their practices of life and subjectivity. Its research activity takes place in the fields of History, Philosophy and Psychology, with an interest in the incorporation of analytical tools from feminist theory, as well as innovative lines of research in other human and social sciences (Anthropology, Sociology, Literature...). In all these fields, it maintains intense and fruitful relations with groups and researchers at the forefront of national and international scientific production. Its main objectives are critical analysis and the production of cutting-edge knowledge in research, as well as the passing on of this knowledge, through teaching innovation and dissemination, to the entire university community and to society as a whole, in pursuit of research excellence but also to contribute to the ethical and civic dimension of knowledge and to contribute to the values of equality. To achieve these goals, the group actively participates in funded research projects, national and international networks.
