Item type:Publication, Promoting justice through community-based research: international case studies(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2022-06-01)Community-based participatory research (CBPR) approaches to promoting justice focus on working from the ground up and giving a voice to marginalized communities regarding their concerns, potential solutions, and how to address social justice issues that matter to them. The pursuit of justice is often related to efforts to attain personal as well as collective well-being. In this paper, we illustrate three exemplars of community psychologists' efforts to promote justice. Within each case study, we discuss the social and community context and examine how the researchers built partnerships and solidarity, developed ways of doing, and approached challenges and solutions. First, we present an example to promote economic justice through an entrepreneurship initiative developed in collaboration with young Black youth with disabilities in the United States. The second case illustrates an effort to promote reproductive justice in collaboration with Roma women and girls in Spain. The third exemplar depicts the use of life stories as a method to raise the voices of displaced, marginalized indigenous women in Peru. Based on these three case studies, we present a synthesis model of social justice. We also discuss implications for future studies emphasizing the importance of engaging community participants in research meaningful ways, developing sustainable partnerships, and decolonizing research. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Unpacking argumentation: Identity and epistemic tensions in higher education(Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, 2024-01-01)This study unpacks three central literacy practices in argumentative writing within Higher Education: the formulation of a stance, the search for reliable bibliographic sources, and the development of argumentative frameworks. Theoretically, it is situated within academic literacies and recent studies in Latin America that adopt a sociocultural, critical, and social justice approach, understanding writing as a social practice. Methodologically, this ethnographic research follows a comparative trajectory of eight students in a university course on argumentative writing, based on cyclical conversations about their progress, a critical analysis of these conversations, and a review of institutional documents. The results conclude that students strive to produce writing that aligns with an objectivist vision of knowledge that is reproduced and promoted in higher education. This institutional proposal relegates their personal voices to the background and encourages “administrative-academic” identities focused on the collection and management of “reliable sources” and the development of argumentative frameworks that operationalize epistemic production in these literacy spaces. Thus, the research contributes to the questioning of literacies that from social justice, which have become established as hegemonic practices in higher education. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Training Needs for Successful Businesswomen: A Narrative Analysis of Stories of Women Entrepreneurs(Inderscience Publishers, 2023-01-01)This research is a qualitative study that develops a narrative analysis of the entrepreneurial experiences of two women business owners in the State of Nuevo Leon, Mexico. This study sought to understand the training needs of female entrepreneurs from the experiences of these women who started their own companies. This issue of entrepreneurship arouses much curiosity and interest in the characteristics of the people who undertake it and how they develop their plans. It is essential to analyse the experiences of entrepreneurs to incorporate the lessons learned into training programs that fulfil the needs and learning styles of people starting and operating their own companies. The women consulted recommended as the key topics in a training program the incorporation of the family into the training processes, the methodologies for scaling up businesses, tools that facilitate the management of revenue, expenses, and earnings, activities that increase self-efficacy, how to search for funding resources and investment capital, and networking. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Experiences of Student Participation in Secondary Schools from Representative Organizations (Lima, Peru)(National University, Costa Rica, 2025-09-01)Objective. This research article aims to identify the characteristics of students' participation experiences in relation to how representative organizations function with the of recognizing elements that achieve quality participation (understood as autonomy vis-à-vis adults) and critical-thinking capacity (reflection in the face of a social problem). Methodology. A multiple-case study design was implemented in three schools that promote student participation. The sample consisted of final-year secondary students, who, through a sequential process, completed a questionnaire and participated in three focus groups and six individual interviews within the case-study framework. The analysis was descriptive and comprehensive. The descriptive type was used in the questionnaires through statistical analysis. The comprehensive one was applied to qualitative techniques using inductive and deductive coding. Results. There are differences in the quality and critical-thinking capacity of the experience depending on how the student organizations function. Regarding quality, age-related factors must be considered when examining these experiences. Concerning critical-thinking capacity, the institutional and social reach is essential for achieving higher levels of social thinking. Conclusions. Experiences can form citizenship, since they involve reduced adult intervention and the deliberation of social issues. However, the quality and critical-thinking capacity of these experiences in the Peruvian educational field need to be improved. Implications. The study gives an account, from the student perspective, of the characteristics of the experiences and makes it possible to understand those elements that may enhance them.2
