The Others at the Public University: Exclusions and Challenges that Remain in Argentina

Abstract

From previous theoretical research and field work with popular sectors, we came to the conclusion that large social groups considered "the others" by the hegemony of knowledge-power, are expelled. This sector named "the others” are not white males of middle and high class. These sectors are experimenting excluding processes. In this article, we try to reflect these processes at the public University of Argentina, especially in the province of Cordoba. We propose an introduction from the colonial genesis of the University and its historical role. Then we explained the epistemological and pedagogical approach that guides the article, a diagnosis of the current situation of the University and inclusion policies. Analyzing the policies that are committed to building a participatory, inclusive, multicultural knowledge and democratic. Concluding that the University is an institution that can´t be discuss without the political time and model of state.
