What is the university from the experience of the LGBT student body? This question builds this book, a novel work that does not focus on reporting the violence experienced by students with a non-hegemonic gender identity, but recovers and reinterprets these experiences from the meaning of the university: what it is and how it is constructed socially, institutionally and pedagogically with certain impacts towards LGBT students. The content is based on social research with honorable mention and the Jan de Vos award for the best doctoral thesis 2021, developed over four years in the urban centers of Tapachula and San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas.
The scope of the book should be thought of as contributions to critical pedagogy, built interdisciplinarily from philosophy, sociology, gender theory and pedagogical theory itself, passing through authors such as Bourdieu, McLaren, Appel, Giroux, Heidegger, Butler and Foucault.
