Researcher and Professor at the Department of Educational Research, CINVESTAV

Bio and Research Interest

Born in the US but raised in Argentina, Inés Dussel became a researcher in education early on her career, doing studies in the history and sociology of education. She directed the Education Area of the Latin American School for Social Sciences in Argentina from 2001 to 2008. At this institution she ran projects on media literacy, citizenship education, and curriculum reform, which included research, teacher education, and media production. She created the network “Tramas” for audiovisual literacy and citizenship education with colleagues from Argentina, Chile, and Perú. She was an advisor to the Program Conectar Igualdad, which distributed laptops to 5 million secondary school students in Argentina. She moved to Mexico City in 2011, where she became Researcher and Professor at the Department of Educational Research, CINVESTAV.

Her research interests focus on the relationships among knowledge, schooling, and politics, in a historical and cultural approach. She is currently studying the intersections between schools and digital visual culture, and has developed comparative research projects on the impact of digital technologies in teacher education in four Latin American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay) and in secondary schools in Argentina and Mexico. Her latest work discusses the changes in the space-times of schooling and the effects of digital media on classroom pedagogies.

In the last years she has given keynote lectures at the German Congress for Educational Sciences (Berlin), the Comparative Education Society of Europe (Freiburg), the Australian and New Zealand History of Education Society (Melbourne), the Brazilian-Portuguese Congress on Curriculum (Belo Horizonte, Brazil), the UK History of Education Society (Worcester), the Congress on Connected Classrooms (Florianopolis, Brazil), and the Spanish History of Education Conference (El Escorial).
