Esperanza Meri Crespo

Esperanza Meri Crespo is an Assistant Professor at the University of Valencia, affiliated with the Faculty of Philosophy and Educational Sciences and the Department of Didactics and School Organisation. She is an active member of the TERRES research group, which focuses on educational transitions, resistances, gender relations, exclusion, and health.

Her research centers on gender performativity in educational contexts, particularly in vocational training, with a critical lens on nostalgic masculinities and their impact on school-to-work transitions. Her work intersects educational theory, feminist theory, and sociological analysis of schooling and labor. She completed her doctoral studies at the University of Valencia in 2024.

Her research contributes to understanding how gender identities are constructed and maintained in institutional settings, especially among male students in vocational education, and how these constructions influence social integration and labor market access. The absence of published articles in the current data does not diminish the significance of her emerging scholarly profile.
