Abstract

In recent years, the commitment to developing academic bachelor’s and master’s degree final theses aimed at social transformation has been proposed as an initiative to encourage students’ social commitment, 2030 Agenda being the reference with which almost all universities have aligned. This paper presents the results of a dialogue process coordinated by Unibertsitate Kritikoa Sarea (UKS), in which different agents (teachers, students and social organizations) participated in order to reach a consensus on the frameworks, methodologies, procedures and expected results to develop academic theses from a critical and emancipatory perspective. The process that led to the drafting of a support guide is described, as well as the experience of a virtual community for accompanying the stakeholders who embark on this task. The results of this process are discussed within the framework of the literature on the need for a politicized science, the ecology of knowledges and the Education for Social Transformation.
