Additionally, it supports, in a reflexive way –that is to say, critically– the use of the biographical methodology to analyze the transformations experienced by the Higher Education in Spain and in Latin America. Our purpose is not to develop an exhaustive examination of the situation of the University, but to point out some notable mutations that put in evidence the interest of a longitudinal and biographical perspective.application/pdfspaopenAccessEDUCAÇÃOENSINO SUPERIORESPANHAEDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATIONSPAINarticle
