Pastor Verdú, Jaime. El movimiento 15-M. Un nuevo actor sociopolítico frente a la “dictadura de los mercados” 

The author analyses the emergence of the social movement known as the 15-M movement. This movement has become a new socio-political force since it burst onto the scene on May 15, 2011.

Orteu, Xavier, Venceslao, Marta, Verdaguer, Pilar. Trabajo con adolescentes: entre lo académico y lo prelaboral 

An article in which the authors present an educational proposal addressed to ESO (Secondary School) students trapped in the "school failure" category. This proposal, with an academic-vocational scope, is a hybrid proposal that connects two different realities: school and pre-employment.

Wedgwood, Nikki. A person with abilities: the transition to adulthood of a young woman with a severe physical impairment

This article explores the potential of combining sociological theories and method with a psychosocial framework as an interdisciplinary approach to studying the transitional experiences of people with impairments. Using a single life history case study of Ella, a young woman with a severe physical impairment, it clearly illustrates that the impact of disablism on transition is contextual and mediated by a combination of socio-historical factors. It highlights, in particular, the constant tension between agency and structure—revealing that Ella’s levels of personal agency to challenge or undermine disablism varied from one social con-text to another and from one life phase to the next.
