Studies in communication/education for social change in Spanish universities. Paths towards an interdisciplinary dialogue

This article presents an assessment of the adoption of communication for social change and of communication/education in Spanish public and private universities. The methodology is grounded on a bibliographic review of the theoretical foundations of both fields, which served as basis for the design and execution of two protocols aimed at analyzing the basic features of these perspectives in the Graduate and Postgraduate Courses in Communication, in the context of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). We finally stand for an interdisciplinary dialogue and the progressive adoption of these subjects in the syllabuses, considering the importance of educommunication processes developed by and for the people.
