Eliana Bussi y Alfredo Jornet organizan una sesión sobre experiencias de investigación en ámbitos de educación y sostenibilidad. Se presentarán brevemente tres trabajos de campo y de análisis en curso: Daniela Searle presentará su trabajo en una escuela rural en Valdivia, Chile, con énfasis en ideas de fondos comunitarios de conocimiento y sostenibilidad. Diego Posada presentará su trabajo basado en cuestionarios realizados en tres escuelas en Uruguay, Argentina, e Italia. Diego Posada presentará su trabajo basado en cuestionarios realizados en tres escuelas en Uruguay, Argentina, e Italia. Además, contamos con la presencia de Ivana Guarrasi, de la Universidad del Estado de Minnesota (EEUU), quien presentará su trabajo e interés, y por tanto parte de la sesión será en inglés. Creemos que este encuentro puede ser fuente de inspiración en lo que respecta a temáticas relacionadas con sostenibilidad, pero también respecto a cuestiones metodológicas y de análisis más generales de relevancia para muchos otros ámbitos.
Ivana Guarrasi – Assistant Professor of Health Communication, Minnesota State University, Mankato, USA
Teaching and learning are central to my practice, research agenda, and scholarly identity. My work is situated at the intersection of interdisciplinary communication studies, science and technology studies (STS), and critical health communication, where I examine how complex, embodied, and affective human experiences are translated into standardized, institutionally legible forms. Using ethnographic methods, my scholarship centers on clinical simulations in medical and nursing education, highlighting the transformative potential of simulation training for more equitable health care. Adopting a cultural studies lens, I analyze collaborative practices in healthcare to cultivate a productive dialogue between social science and health professions training. More recently, my research has turned to nursing work and sustainability, bringing together health communication and sustainability studies to explore how nurses’ informal communicative practices and affective, relational forms of collective care both sustain and expose the limits of resilience in chronically precarious, financialized healthcare systems in United States.
I earned my Ph.D. In Communication from the University of California San Diego. At Minnesota State University, Mankato, I teach a range of undergraduate and graduate courses, including health communication, intercultural communication, conflict management, race, gender and media, interpersonal communication, and cultural studies of mind. I am currently an editor of the international journal Mind, Culture, and Activity.
Title: Collective Care as Resistance Work in the Anthropocene: Reframing sustainability in nursing
Description: In this exploratory presentation on collective care and sustainability in U.S. healthcare, I introduced my emerging research examining the role of informal communicative practices among nurses under conditions of chronic institutional strain. The talk focused on sharing my background and prior scholarship in health communication and opening a dialogue on how insights from sustainability studies could enrich our understanding of affective, relational forms of care in precarious, financialized healthcare systems. This early work laid the conceptual groundwork for subsequent collaborative research with Alfredo Jornet, which highlights how these practices of solidarity practices—what we call “affective contextures of collective care”—both compensate for structural depletion and hold rhizomatic potential for more humane, sustainable alternatives in care work.
Daniela Searle – PhD Student at Universitat de Girona, Spain
Daniela Searle has a degree in Education, Master´s in Initial Education (University Andres Bello, and Master’s in Educational Psychology (Interuniversity Postgraduate Program in Educational Psychology coordinated by the University of Barcelona). She is currently pursuing a PhD in Educational Psychology at the University of Girona. Her main research focus is the design, development, and analysis of educational projects, through collaboration between local agents and the opportunities offered by the territory, addressing and developing the perspective of community funds related to knowledge and identity.
