How to Make the Participatory Social Documentary a Tool for Educational Inclusion?

• In Event: Toward an Intersectional Disability Studies in Education Research Method

Abstract

The participatory social documentary has shown great potential as a research tool for social and educational transformation. Under the critical paradigm and the methodological alternative of participatory action-research, this documentary aims to provoke transformations, turning all the subjects involved (filmmakers, protagonists and spectators) into protagonists and narrators of the story. To do this, a group of activists for inclusive education and a team of university researchers, accompanied by the filmmaker Cecilia Barriga, come together to create a documentary piece that seeks to make viewers aware of the suffering of people who are discriminated at schools because of their gender, race or disability, as well as to involve them in transforming these conditions.
