This collective volume provides a critical and constructive analysis of EDI in prestigious European universities, placing these challenges in a broader global context. The book analyses political pressures, institutional complexities and the transformative potential of incorporating EDI into higher education.
Two of the chapters have been written by members of the CRICC. The first one, by Núria Ferran Ferrer and Miquel Centelles, analyzes how Library and Information Science and Artificial Intelligence can contribute to combat gender exclusions in digital knowledge systems, highlighting biases in platforms and proposing alternatives to move towards epistemic justice and a more equitable representation of women.
The second of them, by Anna Villarroya, Juan José Boté-Vericad and Maria-José Masanet, examines the incorporation of the gender perspective and LGBTQ+ diversity in the teaching of Information and Audiovisual Communication studies at the University of Barcelona, identifying both the interest of the academic community and the difficulties to implement it and proposing actions to promote a more inclusive curricular transformation.
