Abstract

RODRIGUEZ-PIZARRO, Alba Nubia  and  RIVERA-CRESPO, Janet. Sexual Diversity and Gender Identity: Between Acceptance and Recognition. Higher Education Institutions (HEI). CS [online]. 2020, n.31, pp.327-357. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i31.3261.

The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the heteronormative logic that mainstreams relationships between the different actors constituting the university community (whose incongruity is expressed in everyday practice) and to raise the need to recognize and re-signify the relationships with people with non-hegemonic sexual orientations and gender identities as a fundamental aspect for achieving gender justice. Which involves people, education institutions, and society in general. Although the emphasis is placed on non-hegemonic sexual orientations and gender identities, a complex epistemological perspective is assumed in which gender and sexuality are intertwined with other patterns of domination such as ethnicity, race, social class, age, among other.

Keywords : Sexual Orientation; Non-Hegemonic Gender Identity; Heteronormativity; Discrimination; Recognition.
