Reflexiones de estudiantes en torno al racismo y su erradicación. Una experiencia de educación antirracista desde la interculturalidad

Racism constitutes a structural phenomenon that is also reproduced within higher education institutions, where students are among the groups most frequently affected. However, students do not always recognize that their own practices—or the aggressions they experience—are part of the broader spectrum of racist manifestations. The purpose of this study was to identify and render visible such expressions within the student community to develop intervention strategies grounded in an intercultural approach. Using an action research methodology, participatory workshops were conducted between 2024 and 2025 with undergraduate students in the Pedagogy program at Universidad Veracruzana (Xalapa campus), drawing on materials from the Initiative for the Eradication of Racism in Higher Education. The findings indicate that throughout their educational trajectories, participants have encountered racist situations both at the university level and in earlier stages of schooling. In addition, they identify related issues such as violence, discrimination, and class-based prejudice.
