Abstract

L’articolo illustra l’impostazione metodologica trans*-affermativa e trans*-posizionata adottata in una ricerca con studenti trans* nella scuola secondaria di secondo grado italiana. L’approccio, fondato sui transgender studies, elabora una proposta che valorizza i saperi esperienziali delle soggettività trans*, evitando di replicare forme di violenza epistemica e discorsiva. L’articolo descrive le scelte metodologiche adottate, tra cui autoriflessività del ricercatore, approccio narrativo alla ricerca e intervista biografica, evidenziando come queste strategie contribuiscano a una ricerca pedagogica eticamente sensibile e rispettosa dellз persone trans* partecipanti. L’obiettivo è offrire un contributo alla riflessione metodologica ed etica nella ricerca pedagogica, proponendo un modello trasferibile ad altri studi con persone trans*.
