Abstract

This article presents some reflections about the ways that educational institutions work with those students who do not respond to the life parameters they are trying to impose. For this purpose, we propose a dialogue that recovers some contributions made by pedagogies of difference and Critical Studies on Disability, particularly those that advocate a feminist and intersectional perspective, since we agree on the urgent need of building resistance against ableism. Our contribution is an invitation to (re)consider the construction of institutions from the recognition of fragility as a condition of the human nature.
