JUAN CARLOS
GONZALEZ FARACO

The continuity and quality of his scientific activity are evidenced by five consecutive six-year research evaluation periods and one knowledge-transfer evaluation period awarded by the National Commission for the Evaluation of Research Activity, as well as by his publications: approximately 200 in total, including some 76 articles in indexed journals and another sixty books and book chapters published by prestigious national and international publishers. With regard to research projects, his participation stands out in three major European projects, as well as in four projects in which he served as Principal Investigator: two funded under the National R&D Plan, and two funded by the Ministry of Education to support senior researcher mobility (University of Alabama, 2015, and Center for Research and Advanced Studies [CINVESTAV], Mexico, 2024). These are complemented by five additional competitive national projects and five regional projects. He has also taken part in six international cooperation projects and has presented papers at approximately 150 conferences, more than one third of them international. In around 60 of these events, he was an invited keynote speaker. In terms of mobility, his uninterrupted scientific and academic collaboration since 1984 with the Department of Anthropology at the University of Alabama is particularly noteworthy, reflected in numerous publications, conference presentations, and regular research stays. Likewise, since 1999 he has maintained scientific cooperation with the Group on Educational Policies and Reforms at the University of Granada, in addition to continuous teaching activity since 2011 in doctoral and postgraduate programs at that university. He has also undertaken numerous visiting professorships at other national and international universities and research centers, including, among others, the Department of Educational Research at CINVESTAV in Mexico City; the National Pedagogical University of Mexico; Austral University and the University of Santiago, Chile; and the University of Ferrara, Italy. These are complemented by shorter but highly productive stays at institutions such as the School of Education, University of Wisconsin–Madison; the Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences (FLACSO), Buenos Aires; UNAN–Managua, Nicaragua; and Humboldt University of Berlin, among others. With regard to academic and scientific management, in addition to participating in the organization and scientific committees of approximately 60 conferences, he has carried out extensive work in postgraduate and doctoral education at the University of Huelva, serving as Director of the Master’s Program in Intercultural Education; the Master’s Program for Secondary School Teacher Training; the Doctoral Program in Education; and the PhD in Social and Educational Sciences. He was an Associated Expert of the European Network of Experts in the Social Sciences of Education and Training (RESSE) of the European Commission. He also served as Vice President of the Spanish Society of Comparative Education and was the promoter and curator of the exhibition “Asnography: Juan Ramón Jiménez in Spanish School Culture” (2017–2023), the outcome of a National Research Project on reading and literary education, of which he was Principal Investigator.
