On 29 and 30 October 2026, the III International Congress on Education and Gender: Feminist Weavings of Education took place at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). The event brought together researchers, teachers and education professionals to share research and reflections on the relationship between gender and education from a feminist perspective.
As part of the congress, Aina Tarabini (UAB) and Marta Curran (UCM), members of the LEARNER project, presented the paper “Who Can Learn? Gender, Identity Positioning and Inequality”, in which they discussed the implications of gender across the different dimensions of the research conducted within the project, with particular attention to the construction of learner identity and educational inequalities.
The presentation was part of the panel “Bodies, Affects and Trajectories: A Feminist Perspective on Educational Inequalities in Secondary Education”, coordinated by Aina Tarabini (UAB), which also included contributions from Mar Venegas (University of Granada) and Alícia Villar-Aguilés (University of Valencia). The panel explored how educational trajectories, learner identities and affective experiences are shaped in relation to gender inequalities in secondary education.
