Tell us about a subjetc you enjoy studying

  Hi everyone, in this blog I will tell you about a subjetc I enjoy studying which would be feminism. So, feminism is a social and political movement that formally began at the end of the 18th century, and that involves the awareness of women as a group or collective, of the oppression, domination, and exploitation of the patriarchal system. I really enjoy study feminism because it has helped me a lot on a personal level, understanding that some experiences have not been my fault. In addition, studying it has made me give a deeper meaning to the female struggle, increasing my desire for things to really change. Another thing that I would like to add is that the most valuable thing I have learned from feminism has been the use of intersectionality, which has helped me understand that women live different processes of domination according to race, class and sexuality. And finally, before learning about feminism as part of university study, I saw it clearly as a social movement o...

Tell us about an expert/person in your field that you admire

Hi everyone, today I´m going to talk about Julieta Kirkwood, who was a sociologist, political scientist, theorist and feminist activist, graduated from the University of Chile. She was born in 1936 and passed away in 1985, in Chile. I really admire her for having been one of the first Chilean sociologists to produce highly relevant works on a continental level. In other words, she was one of the promoters of feminism and gender studies in the country. In addition, she was an important activist against the Pinochet dictatorship.  Her main contributions were her feminist works that went hand in hand with activism, thus seeking to criticize liberal and conservative feminism. On the other hand, she constantly fights for the rights of all women in the country, postulating that: "There is no democracy without feminism." 

How Can Your Major Make the World a Better Place

  Hi everyone, in this blog I´m going to talk about my major. So Sociology can have an impact on the world, as it is a social science dedicated to the understanding of human relations with each other, and with the different institutions, so in a certain way it makes known what is happening in society. This knowledge generates greater tools to intervene in the social problems that currently exist based on studies, surveys or public policies that can be carried out by sociologists. So far, being part of this career, has meant that my perspective of the world has changed a lot, mainly because now I analyze most of the events critically, however that has meant that my mental health worsens, mainly because I realize everything. negative that occurs at the social level, what causes me anxiety

My Favorite Piece of Technology

Hello to everyone! In this blog I´m going to tell you about my favorite piece of technology, which is my cell phone. Why? because I can do many things with it, which means that it is a very versatile technology.  The things that I can do with it are: watch my favorite social networks (Instagram and TikTok), read, talk with my friends, take pictures and so on… all this in a device small enough to always carry in my pocket. On the other hand, not everything is good, mainly because the cell phone has generated a dependency on me, so I can't be without it and not watch it everytime. So, I really recommend it, because it is a very useful technology, but it should´t be used for many hours.

Why Did I choose my major?

Imagen
I chose my career mainly because at school I liked to analyze the effects of the historical processes in society. From this, my parents helped me to see different options, where I learned about Sociology. To be honest, when I was a child my dream always was to study veterinary medicine. However my skills in the school developed more in the humanistic area. So, based on my abilities and tastes for the subject "history", my options were Anthropology or Sociology. Then I decided on sociology just by looking at the curriculum, because it seemed more interesting to me. To finish, my experience in the career has been a little complicated because of the social outbreak and the pandemic, but it has also been interesting because I have learned a lot about topics that I like, such as feminism. By for now.
