Educomunicadoras en perspectiva: resiliencia, sororidad y equidad de género en el ámbito académico

Purpose. Exploring the role of women in educommunication, analyzing their impact, the challenges they find, and the resilience strategies they employ within a context shaped by gender inequality. Methodology. We conducted semi-structured interviews with three leading scholars in the field of educommunication in Spain. Through inductive qualitative analysis using Atlas.ti 24, we identified discursive patterns concerning academic role models, gender-based barriers, and leadership dynamics. Results and conclusions. The findings show that although the educommunication field has advanced in terms of gender equity, significant challenges persist, such as the glass ceiling, impostor syndrome, and the invisibility of women in leadership positions. Participants highlight sorority and self-confidence as key strategies for confronting these systemic gaps. Novelty. This study contributes to the ongoing dialogue on gender equity in and from edge educommunication, emphasizing the need to consolidate more inclusive academic environments that acknowledge women’s leadership and foster a diverse, critical, and intergenerationally inclusive scientific culture.
