Scientific Evidence of Social Impact to Eliminate Abuse: The PCCP Project of the Society of Jesus
Article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone has the right to benefit from scientific knowledge. In the case of the social problem of sexual abuse, we already have scientific knowledge about what actions are most effective in prevention and response. The application of this knowledge is an indispensable tool to make real the commitment of the Catholic Church to support victims of sexual abuse in ecclesial contexts …
Health Impacts of Isolating Gender Violence
Isolating Gender Violence (IGV) is the violence perpetrated against those who support victims of gender violence and results from such support. Research has shown that overcoming IGV is central to eliminate gender violence. In this regard, a central step occurred in December 2020, when the Catalan Parliament approved by unanimity the creation of a new juridical figure and legal victim that never existed in the world before: victims of IGV. Now, p…
Social Intervention That Facilitates Recovery from Gender-Based Violence: Dialogic Reconstruction of Memory
Services for victims of gender-based violence are an interdisciplinary work space where the recovery of women and, thus, preventing their social exclusion are among the main objectives. Although previous scientific literature provides some indicators of the social impact of these services, that is, the improvements in the lives of these women, and allow them to advance in their recovery, it is necessary to deepen and broaden this knowledge. One o…
Mpox 1b: Upstanders for Science in Western and Chinese Social Media
At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, scientific literature published research about the presence of hoaxes and evidence in diverse social media, with a huge scientific and social impact. The main results showed that while in Western social media like X there was more false information and less scientific evidence than in the Chinese platform Weibo, but scientific evidence was more retweeted than hoaxes. This research allowed the identificat…
Contributions of young people in dialogue with scientific evidence on sexual consent
Scientific research increasingly underlines the importance of a community science focus in research. It explains the importance of engaging young people in scientific research and the consequences of this in improving science. However, there is less literature addressing how this dialogue with scientific evidence also influences research participants’ empowerment in seeking concrete solutions and even proposing and/or transforming current interac…
Neuroedumyhts: A Contribution from Socioneuroscience to the Right to Education for All
Scientific literature about neuromyths has proliferated in the last few years. However, there is a gap of knowledge around neuroedumyths. While neuromyths are based on hoaxes about the brain, neuroedumyths use neuroscientific concepts but state consequences for education that are false. This article presents, for the first time, research about neuroedumyths among teachers. This study has applied the innovative methodology of Public Lectures’ Deba…
Disdainful Hookups: A Powerful Social Determinant of Health
The health consequences of gender violence, a global health and social problem, are increasingly studied. Among its roots, research has identified a coercive dominant discourse imposing the idea that masculinities and relationships marked by abuse and domination are more attractive than egalitarian ones. To prevent the health consequences of gender violence, it is necessary to understand the factors that lead many adolescents to fall into it. Thi…
Promoting Admiration of Foucault Hiding his Defense of Rape and Pederasty
Foucault has been quoted as a great intellectual contributor to feminism and education, despite his defense of decriminalizing rape and pederasty. Since the MeToo movement, there is an increasing criticism of Foucault’s persona and works. However, in order to avoid recognizing their mistake, some authors say that Foucault’s defense of sexual violence was unknown before. This article shows this is not backed by evidence. Data was collected via int…
Who promoted the nightlife of flirts? Freedom or capitalist bussiness
There is scientific and rich literature about sexual-affective relationships in the nightlife. Some of the contributions analyze the freedom or the harassments in those relationships. Less has been researched about to what extent the origin and evolution of the promotion and extension of the participation of young people in the nightlife was motivated by their demand for freedom or by the nightlife business. This article presents results of the r…
Dialogic reconstruction of memories of violent sexual-affective relationships via dialogic gatherings of “Radical Love”
When a violent intimate relationship occurs, this experience becomes part of the person’s autobiographical memory. Given its prospective functions, the reconstruction of those memories of violent sexual-affective relationships could be an effective tool to prevent future revictimization. The study presented in this article examined the impact of a dialogic gathering of the Radical Love book on the reconstruction of memories of violent sexual- aff…
It was Very Liberating”. Dialogic Literary Gatherings Supporting Mental Health Literacy
Mental health is being reframed as a fundamental right for all people, and mental health literacy is a tool that can enable patients to gain the knowledge, personal skills, and confidence to take action to improve their mental health, and their lives overall. This exploratory study analysed the power of dialogic literary gatherings (DLGs) to foster it in a group of patients with mental health disorders who gathered for 1 h once a week to share th…
Your Friends Do Matter”: Peer Group Talk in Adolescence and Gender Violence Victimization
Research on gender violence has identified as one main component leading to gender violence a dominant socialization process which associates attractiveness to men who show violent behaviors and attitudes, while egalitarian and non-violent men are emptied of attractiveness. This is known as coercive dominant discourse. Starting from the evidence that the peer group is a main context of socialization in adolescence, quantitative data were collecte…

Identifying violence against the LGTBI+ community in Catalan universities
Social struggles have led to the legal recognition of the rights of LGTBI+ people in some countries. Even so, violence against LGTBI+ people is a social problem throughout the world, and has resulted in the vulnerability and victimization of the members of this group. In Spain, no research has been published to date that analyzes this problem in the university context. Considering the scarcity of studies on the identification of this type of viol…
Interreligious Dialogue Groups Enabling Human Agency
Evidence has shown that interreligious dialogue is one of the paths to build bridges among diverse cultural and religious communities that otherwise would be in conflict. Some literature reflects, from a normative standpoint, on how interreligious dialogue should be authentic and meaningful. However, there is scarce literature on what conditions contribute to this dialogue achieving its desirable goals. Thus, our aim was to examine such condition…
Overcoming Limitations for Research During the Covid-19 Pandemic via the Communicative Methodology: The Case of Homelessness During the Spanish Home Confinement
Research on homelessness is a field of study in social sciences with a long and solid history. Several pieces of research have let us understand the life experiences and trajectories of these individuals, the challenges that they have faced, and the interventions conducted with them to address this inequality. Nonetheless, the research methodologies in those studies prove short in a situation such as the current COVID-19 pandemic. If we, research…
The Impact of Radical Love on Human Memory
The social impact of reading the book Radical Love cannot be grasped by the dominant discourse on the evaluation of social impact. A deep understanding of autobiographical memories must go beyond the quantitative analysis of details and episodes to qualitatively examine the meanings constructed through recollection. Thus, we explored young women's memories of intimate partner violence through memory narratives and the way these memories were reco…

The stories told by Lola, a female homeless from a deprived neighborhood, shed light on the transformative power that reading and discussing classical literature had …
New Methodological Insights Into Communicative Acts That Promote New Alternative Masculinities
Communicative acts include verbal and non-verbal acts as well as the analysis of the dialogic relationships and power relationships associated to each of those acts. This article discusses data from two case studies in education, where communicative acts were analyzed to identify those that promote new alternative masculinities that help to prevent gender violence. One of the main methodological challenges was how to conduct the data collection a…
Ten Years of Critical Communicative Methodology
The critical communicative methodology has been developed by the Center of Research in Theories and Practices that Overcome Inequalities, CREA, as a research response to the dialogic turn of societies and sciences. It stresses that egalitarian dialogues between the scientific community and the lifeworld of the researched subjects are necessary to reach greater levels of social justice. For this dialogue to occur, the critical communicative method…
El aprendizaje dialógico
Las concepciones del aprendizaje de la sociedad industrial, al poner el énfasis en la dimensión intrapsicológica del estudiante, olvidaron la dimensión dialógica. En la actualidad, el aprendizaje dialógico, desarrollado en y para la sociedad de la información, pone el foco en la dimensión intersubjetiva del aprendizaje y resulta un marco científico útil para explicar cómo las personas aprenden más y mejor. Al mismo tiempo, el aprendizaje dialógic…
