Group of Teaching Innovation Lletra de dona / LLETRAD 2016 (GINDOC-UB/155)
Lletra de dona (LLETRAD) is a teaching group created in 2004 in order to develop, apply, and improve critical reading tools in gender studies applied to literary and philosophical texts, as part of the continuous evaluation model. These tools are extensive to all Humanities areas, at both the degree and the Masters levels, as well as offering a professional component. It is currently comprised of teaching and research staff from three faculties (Philology, Philosophy, and Geography and History) though it has the potential to be exapanded into other linguistic areas and faculties. From 2008 until 2013 it has received continuous funding from REDICE. The GID-13/155 LLETRAD teaching innovation group was founded in 2015 from the innovation group Lletra de dona; its PR was Elena Losada (2015). It has been acknowledged as a consolidated teaching innovation group for the period 2016-2018; its current PR is Helena González Fernández.
