University cultural participation: research reflections from the Sociology of culture

Abstract

Cultural participation in the university environment constitutes a way to implement the sustainable development objectives set out in the 2030 Agenda, as it is declared by the United Nations for Science, Education and Culture, as an important contribution to achieve other goals within it, in order to guarantee a quality university education. This in turn, will promote inclusive strategies and policies. The triangulation of sources and methods, to contrast and integrate the information provided by the sources consulted and the methods used, allows building a global vision of the subject. The systematization, argumentation and conceptualization around university cultural participation, the consumer practices, as reproduced symbolic mediations that structure it, support the novelty of the topic for sociology of culture and sociology.
