Intersecciones críticas. Experiencias y estrategias desde la museología y el feminismo gitano, bajo el prisma del covid-19 = Critical Intersections. …
2020
La pandemia de 2020 enfrentó las áreas que tratan la memoria desde los márgenes con la necesidad de transformar sus experiencias en estrategias con potencial de futuro. El artículo busca reflejar la intersección entre dos campos de acción cultural comprometida: el de algunos museos valencianos y el de las asociaciones de mujeres gitanas, vistas también desde el ámbito local. El objeto de nuestro análisis son dos vertientes de la actuación cultural emancipadora: las experiencias, fenómenos a menudo caóticos y coyunturales, y las estrategias razonadas, que unen prácticas del conocimiento crítico hasta ahora no contiguas. El estado de alarma definió estas ramas estratégicas como inclusión digi…
Opportunities and Hazards of the Internet for Students with Intellectual Disabilities: The Views of Pre-Service and In-Service Teachers

Teachers´ perceptions about the benefits and safety of the Internet for students with intellectual disabilities may affect their willingness to promote online access for this group.

A cross-sectional survey design was conducted with the participation of 582 pre-service and in-service teachers from south-eastern Spain. Findings reveal that teachers have great concerns about the use of the Internet by students with ID, with higher ratings for perceived online risks than for o…

Internet Lite for Sustainable Development
2018
The Digital Divide is one of the key challenges for mankind. Despite attempts to digitally include people, the divide is bigger than ever. This contribution [1] to a sustainable future promotes “Internet lite” as the new paradigm for providing everyone with the opportunity to participate in the digital society. The current paper first addresses the reasons for the digital divide, thereafter addresses free access to information as catalyst for the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and provides the path towards “Internet lite for all”.
Digital Infrastructure Enabling Platforms for Health Information and Education in the Global South
2020
This chapter aims at documenting how digital divide determinants are affecting the ability of digital infrastructure to be used as a platform for health information and education in Sub-Saharan Africa. More specifically, the chapter draws from case studies in Madagascar, Niger, Cote d’Ivoire, Senegal, and Tanzania, and we showcase the best praxis on how digital technologies are used to improve learning and health information usage. Some tested experiments have been successful but rarely scaled up, depriving part of the population—the poorest and those living in rural areas who “consume” few public resources—from opportunities to access improved education and health services. Along with the …
Internet and People with Intellectual Disability: A Bibliometric Analysis

The reviews published on this matter have been of a narrative or systematic approach. The present study aimed to examine the academic output in the field of Internet and people with intellectual disability from a bibliometric perspective. A sample of 95 documents related to the topic was retrieved from the core collection of Web of Science (WoS) and analyzed using the bibliometrix R-Tool. Find…
Older Adults Learning Digital Skills Together: Peer Tutors’ Perspectives on Non-Formal Digital Support
2023
In later life, digital support is predominantly received outside of formal education from warm experts such as children, grandchildren, and friends. However, as not everyone can rely on this kind of informal help, many older adults are at risk of being unwillingly left without digital support and necessary digital skills. In this article, we examine non-formal digital support and peer tutoring as a way to promote digital and social inclusion through the acquisition of necessary digital skills. First, we ask: (a) What is peer tutoring, in the field of digital training, from the peer tutors’ point of view? Then, based on the first research question, we further ask (b) what are the key charact…
