Abstract

ABSTRACT The introduction of gender and sexualities teaching in universities in Chile is closely linked to political and social history, social movements, and public policies. The 1973–1990 dictatorship denied sexual and reproductive rights, but since 1990, democratic governments passed several laws and developed specific anti-discriminatory public policies committed to gender equality and rights. Confronting powerful conservative groups, the neoliberal reforms, and the privatization of higher education, a small group of academics, mostly feminists, gradually introduced gender and sexuality teaching in universities. However, its institutionalization is still precarious. This was researched through the analysis of universities' Web sites, an e-mail consultation, and interviews to academics and university administrators.
