Title: Inside the Companionship for Minors. Troubles and weaknesses of an Ethnographic Approach to Deviance and Education
Authors:
Alfredo Berbegal, Researcher, Department of Methods of Research and Diagnostic in Education (MIDE), University of Zaragoza, Spain
I am a 30-year-old young man (born July 6, 1978, Zaragoza, Spain). My motivation is inspired by a specific approach to Ethnography (What Ethnography?) and to Education (What Utopia or social transformation?)
As an educational professional, I initially worked a part-time as teacher of violoncello. I taught basic musical abilities and the violoncello to young amateur people. After my Graduate Studies at the University of Zaragoza (BA in Education Studies, 2001; MA in Psychopedagogy, 2003) and my Doctoral Training in France (University of Haute-Bretagne Rennes-2, University of Paris-8, 2004), I worked as social educator in a correction center for young offenders, monitoring assistance and reeducation, and also as vocational training counselor for the Juvenile Court. This professional experience was captured in an Ethnographic Case Study, receiving a European PhD in Philosophy and Education Sciences (June 24, 2008).
As part of my Doctoral Research Fellowship (2005-2008), I have worked in the Department of Education Sciences, Methods of Research and Diagnosis in Education, University of Zaragoza.
Nowadays, I am deeply immersed in my postdoctoral adventure!!!
I am interested in investigating the educational phenomenon as complex and transdisciplinary global human expression, and especially how social and educational deviance processes are constructed in our society. It is driving me to fascinating disciplinary contradictions and perpetual controversies in certain theoretical and material critic militancy in Social Sciences. Great debate where I would not like to enter alone!!! In this way, I am proud of being a member of the ETNOEDU Research Group, University of Zaragoza - http://www.unizar.es/etnoedu/, and the European Society of Ethnography and Education (ESEE) - http://www.unizar.es/etnoedu/SEEE.html.
