Educación superior socio-inclusiva en el conurbano bonaerense : el caso de la Universidad nacional de Hurlingham (UNaHur)

Abstract

This article aims to expose an experience of inclusive social education in the context of higher education in Argentina. The country has a historical tradition of inclusion and access to higher education. However, the mere possibility of entering university education does not guarantee real access to everyone. There are social, territorial, and symbolic inequalities that make entry to this educational level difficult for some social sectors, even in a context of free and unrestricted access. In the last decades, universities have been created that, due to their territorial location and their pedagogical project, contribute to mitigate these inequalities. Among them are the so-called universities of the Buenos Aires suburbs, of which UNaHur is part, being the most recently created. The paper exposes the experience of this new university, from its insertion in the historical tradition of Argentine education and its inclusive political-pedagogical project.
