Eva
Bretones Peregrina

The R&D activities of researcher Eva Bretones focus, fundamentally, on two lines of work: the training of trainers in the field of intercultural relations and the professionals' dimension as cultural subjects in the educational actions. On the one hand, she works on the ethnography of educational processes in different empirical fields, which allows for the specification of conditions favourable to the transformation of intercultural relations models. And, on the other, articulating an ethnography of social education professionals that allows for understanding of professional cultures and their role in transmitting culture. The goal is to be able to articulate proposals for the training of trainers in the field of intercultural relations in different educational realities and for different age groups, and also to be able to systematise socio-educational action methodologies on an interdisciplinary basis (anthropology and pedagogy) to promote peaceful coexistence and approximation between people in education contexts. She is a member of the UOC's Social Education Laboratory (LES) research group, a collaborating researcher with the Consolidated Research Group of the Generalitat of Catalonia, the Fundamental and Oriented Anthropology Research Group (GRAFO) of the UAB, and the group of Anthropology and Education from the Catalan Institute of Anthropology (ICA).
