Analysing the Construction of the Social Status of Teaching from the Visual Rhetorics of Chilean Digital Press
Aim. This study examines how the teaching profession is visually narrated in Chilean digital news media, and how these rhetorics contribute to the construction of teachers’ social status. Situated within global concerns regarding teacher recruitment and retention, the study focuses on media imagery as a key site where the social status of professions is produced and propagated. Methods. The methodology is based on the visual rhetoric approach and…
Examining the social status characteristics of the elementary teaching profession from the visual rhetoric of universities
Educational systems nearly everywhere in the world are experiencing a decline in enrolment in teacher education programmes and a growing shortage of qualified teachers. This is associated with a decline in the profession's social status. This study explores how Chilean universities visually construct the social status of the elementary teaching profession on their official websites. Based on the visual rhetoric approach, we analyze a sample of 48…
Conciencia ambiental en escuelas y organizaciones en territorios rurales en crisis hídrica de la Provincia de Petorca, Chile
El territorio de la provincia de Petorca en Chile, visibiliza los efectos devastadores del cambio climático agravado en las últimas décadas con la expansión de la industria agroexportadora y minera. Basados en un enfoque cualitativo, se realizaron seis entrevistas semiestructuradas sedentarias y dos entrevistas caminadas con dos escuelas y dos organizaciones locales rurales; luego se analizó temáticamente sus discursos a partir de sus dimensiones…
School choice in Indigenous families as a conflicting path between territories and cultures
Chile has a highly segregated education system. Indigenous students tend to be one of the most disadvantaged socio-cultural groups in terms of educational access and academic outcomes, in addition to lacking consistent intercultural educational alternatives. Through in-depth interviews, we explored Mapuche families' experiences from two communities in rural southern Chile regarding their secondary school choice processes. This study analyses ethn…
Schools and industries producing educational-labor paths in secondary TVET in Chile
New and old educational inequalities in socio-cultural minorities
In 2016, the Chilean Ministry of Education implemented the new School Admission System (SAS) designed with the goal of equalizing access to schools for the most disadvantaged families and reduce educational segregation. Yet it is not clear if the SAS is sensitive to socio-cultural minorities and their particular conditions. Hence, in this article we explore the school choice experiences of parents from three socio-cultural minorities under the ne…
(In)justicia multidimensional y pedagogías socialmente justas
En este artículo, pretendemos contribuir al debate de la justicia educativa, especialmente para niños/as con necesidades especiales, desafiando aquellas teorías que se enfocan solo en aspectos unidimensionales. Utilizando el modelo multidimensional de justicia de Gewirtz y el marco de las pedagogías socialmente justas, analizamos el caso de Oscar, padre de un niño con Síndrome de Down, que busca una escuela para su hijo. El caso se desarrolla en …

Los resultados nos permiten identificar los principales antecedentes, criterios, preocupaciones y expectativas de las…
Ethics in neoliberalism? Parental responsibility and education policy in Chile and Australia
This article questions the diverse and, in some cases, contradictory ethical forms present in contemporary neoliberal policy frames. In particular, we analyse the demands of responsibility - as a form of ethical commitment - requested of parents by education policies in the contexts of Chile and Australia. Assuming neoliberalism as a contextualised and multivocal form of governing, we applied a policy sociology approach to study the ethical impli…
School admission in Chile, new rules of the game, and the devaluation of Middle-class capitals
This paper illustrates the influence of a new national assignment system (NSAS) on Chilean middle-class advantage. This system was designed to increase educational equity by changing the previous school admission “rules” that were prejudicial against low-income students. We use Bourdieu’s conceptual tools, drawing on concepts of capitals and field, to analyse the influence of the new rules of the game on the value of middle-class capitals. To und…
Searching for an educational shelter
Latin families moving to a different Latin American country are placed in a dominated position by what is called ‘coloniality’. In this sense, we argue that the processes of classification (in terms of social class), racialisation and genderisation that migrant Latin families experience when choosing schools for their children in the Chilean context can be a form of this coloniality. To make our case, we use narratives from in-depth interviews co…
Uncertain futures in forgotten places
This article is based on research about the relations and tensions between secondary students’ subjectivities and dominant discourses as well as education policies in rural contexts in Chile (a well-known case of neoliberal policies in recent decades). Using a poststructural theoretical perspective, the qualitative study is focused on rural students’ subjectivities, through the analysis of their narratives about their lives, their perceptions on …
Indigenous higher education in Mexico and Brazil
This article assesses current policies in Mexico and Brazil towards indigenous populations in higher education, considering the various responses to the challenge, including affirmative action programmes in mainstream universities, intercultural courses and autonomous institutions. These policies and initiatives are analysed using the theoretical frames of redistribution and recognition, focusing on demands for formal equality and material wellbe…
