ARAUJO, Sônia Maria da Silva  y  LIONETTI, Lucia. Eluned Morgan and school education in Patagonia in the 19th century 1

Article resulting from a research project funded by the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq).

Based on the life experience of Eluned Morgan (1870-1938), a writer from a Welsh family, who migrated to Argentina, Patagonia, Chubut Valley, the article deals with education in Latin America. The aim is to understand how education in Patagonia becomes an educational project by Eluned Morgan and reflect on the implications of this project in a region that was born under the impact of the National State with the “Conquest of the Desert”. Its theoretical inspiration is based on cultural history and the history of intellectuals. The results show that Eluned Morgan assumes an important place in the region by using the quill of a writer to disseminate her educational ideas. Intellectually formed from a border view of the world, permeated by Welsh culture, Patagonian indigenous culture, and Spanish-American culture, the writer defended education as a necessary instrument for the economic, social, and cultural development of southern Argentina.
