Historical-educational Memory in Teachers’ Training to Promote an Equal and Inclusive Culture

The chapter highlights the potential of historical training to facilitate a critical reinterpretation of gender as a possible analytical category in the study of the History of Education. The chapter focuses on the use of autobiographical narration as a tool to reconstruct personal and professional history. It demonstrates how this process can facilitate not only the creation of a shared historical memory but also a process of emancipation and social awareness through the inclusion of new voices. The construction of a gender-sensitive collective memory through autobiographical narration is illustrated by a project of researchaction- training with educators, teachers, and families carried out from 2020 to 2022 with the municipality of Livorno and the University of Florence.
