The transmission of gender stereotypes in the discourse of public educational spaces
Abstract
This article investigates the extent to which classical gender stereotypes are transmitted in the public space of higher education institutions and how this contributes to maintaining a social vision in which an unequal distribution of gender persists. This study analyzes, from a multimodal perspective, posters hung on walls in secondary schools and a university in a Spanish city over a period of several months. Results show that although the linguistic messages used in these posters avoid any reference to gender, images continue to represent classical stereotypes in a subtle and an inexplicit way. Images depict daily life activities, unexceptional and apparently without gender ideology. However, they still associate gender with classical roles. In this context, the explicit institutional educational discourse contrasts with the still persistent implicit transmission of a sexist idea of the genders in the visual representations analyzed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
