One of the most influential researchers in Europe in ecofeminism, Yayo Herrero, will be this Wednesday, March 6 in the V Conference on Education for the XXI century, which are promoted by the Association of Pensioners and Retired Teachers of STERM.
The act will be at 19:00 in the Assembly Hall of the Higher Technical School of Agricultural Engineering (ETSIA).
It will be presented by Cayetano Gutiérrez, Professor of Physics and Chemistry and scientific disseminator.
Admission is free until full capacity is reached.
Yayo Herrero will offer the talk-talk 'The planet is not yours.
Our bodies either ', in which will analyze the course of human life embodied in vulnerable bodies that must be cared for throughout their existence, but especially in some moments of special fragility: upbringing, old age, disease ... Nobody can live without being careful , and nobody should live without caring.
Those who have mostly cared for and taken care of vulnerable bodies are women.
This is not because we are better equipped genetically to do it.
This is due to the fact that we live in patriarchal societies that assign the role of care to women, and socialize men so that they are mostly disengaged from care, including their own.
ABOUT YAYO HERRERO
Yayo Herrero is an anthropologist, social educator and technical engineer, teacher and ecofeminist activist.
She has been the state coordinator of Ecologists in Action and has participated in numerous social initiatives on the promotion of Human Rights and social ecology.
From January 2012 to August 2018 she has been the general director of the FUHEM Foundation.
She is currently a professor at the National University of Distance Education.
She is one of the most influential researchers in the ecofeminist and ecosocialist field at European level.
Through his multiple essays and his eco-feminist practice, Herrero denounces the contradictions of the current model of capitalist development.
An unsustainable model, based on a continuous economic growth that ignores the biophysical limits of the planet and its inhabitants, and makes invisible all those works of social care and reproduction essential for the sustenance of life.
Works that in patriarchal societies fall mostly in women and remain hidden within the domestic sphere, thus being excluded from recognition and salary remuneration.
