Human Rights: Ethical, Social and Political Challenges
Edurne Bartolomé Peral
Deusto Valores Sociales is a research team in the Univeristy of Deusto, a research unit with large experience in Research and in training PhD candidates. This research team is located at the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences at the University of Deusto and focuses on the study of values and its implications for the society, vulnerable groups and welfare State and democratic governance
Background (Ma level) on any field of social sciences (Sociology, political science, international relations). Knowledge on research methods and more specifically quantitative data analysis.
- Social Sciences and Humanities (SOC)
The Project is framed in the Europe-wide project of European Values Study. It aims at analyzing the evolutions and major shifts in individuals´ values in several domains, democratic governance, democratic values, attitudes towards fraud and trust in institutions . By analyzing people´s values, social reality and current trends of opinion and social behaviour can be explained according to a set of socio demographic characteristics and social trends such as shifts in economy and modernization and postmodernization processes. Variations in terms of gender, age and life cycle, status, are in the core of the explanations of these value positions and shifts. This project is a Europe-wide cross-sectional survey combining in-depth knowledge on attitudes, values and behaviour, with a strong focus on comparative survey data analysis
Research aims are: To understand variations in value orientations across time, particularly in terms of political values, European identity and social and institutional trust,;To deepen into the understanding of country -and region –wide differences in terms of these values, as well as to understand the explanatory factors for this variation, in terms of political, historical, religious, economic and socio-demographic factors; To analyze value orientations and value schemes taking into account the gender perspective; To combine theoretical knowledge on values with in-depth and up-to-date statistical knowledge on data analysis and survey methodology.

Edurne Bartolomé Peral is faculty member at the University of Deusto, department of International Relations and Humanities. Her main research interests are this study of political culture, values and political attitudes in comparative perspective. Moreover she works on political support and internpersonal and political trust. She has developed projects using experimental design on attitudes towards outgroups or attitudes towards tax evasion, topics on which she has developed most of her publications. She is active member of European Values Study and member of the Spanish NEC of European Social Survey. She has collaborated also in several European funded projects. She is part of the Deusto valores sociales research team in the Univeristy of Deusto, a research unit with large experience in Research and in training PhD candidates. INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION
The topic covers basic domains of sociology, political science, gender studies, international relations and public policy. These topics will be covered from different epistemological perspectives.
Once the specific topic is defined, opportunities for international co-direction will be identified and co-direction will be decided based on best suitability
Interdisciplinarity is in the core of our research unit and topics, combining perspectives coming from sociology, political science and public policy, social work and social psychology. All these approaches are combined to the study of values and value orientations and its implications in numerous fields and aspects of our reality. INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION
The application is framed within the following H2020 topics.
PRIORITY ‘Societal challenges’
(f) Europe in a changing world – Inclusive, innovative and reflective societies;
With this priority we aim at understanding the value dimensions underlying European identity and how values are shaping attitudes and behaviours in Europe. Nowadays, a more inclusive and innovative society is key to overcome the threats and challenges in Europe, and the deep knowledge of values opens an important path to explain, predict and orientate attitudes and behaviours. Promoting gender equality in science and innovation is a commitment of the Union. In Horizon 2020, gender will be addressed as a cross-cutting issue in order to rectify imbalances between women and men, and to integrate a gender dimension in research and innovation programming and content.
This priority in any key research aiming at understanding society, and more particularly, to understand values and attitudes in all their domains. Gender perspective is very important to be addressed as it cuts across all value dimensions.
In addition to the H2020 priorities identified above, this proposal includes a very strong instrumental focus, with a strong methodological orientation based on the use and research on the advances in quantitative data analysis and survey methodology. This aim is aligned with the following principle presented in the priorities of H2020:
International co-direction envisaged and encouraged, given our international perspective and our networks on value studies across Europe and the world. It will be specified once the research topic and its methodology are narrowed down. INTERSECTORAL COLLABORATION
The impact of the results from European Values Study and particularly those aspects related in the research aims (see above), can be related to a numerous spheres, namely social, economic and political. In this sense, several research agreements are increasingly creating important knowledge-transfer ties, particularly with organizations from the third sector. Some of these organizations are Ikuspegi (basque observatory of migration), Cáritas, EAPN, Searen Sareak-Network of the social third sector in Basque Country. Innobasque, Local Government, municipality. Moreover, the research project is a very positive and useful instrument for policy recommendations at both national and comparative level.

In this sense, several research agreements are increasingly creating important knowledge-transfer ties, particularly with organizations from the third sector.
Specialization on the multilevel data analysis and meta-analysis, alongside with the deep theoretical reflection and knowledge on value change in Europe create clear employment possibilities. It defines a very useful professional profile at the university/academic sphere, as well as in the political field. Another strong path for employability is related to the project management competences to be acquired during the development of this PhD Thesis. Competences, such as diagnostic analysis, interpretation of reality, systemic and relational vision as well as the capability to formulate and manage research proposals are strongly developed in this research project. INNOVATION
The innovative aspect will be combining, from a methodological perspective, survey data with experimental designs. INCLUSION
Some of the organizations with which the research team has fluid contacts are Ikuspegi (basque observatory of migration), Cáritas, EAPN, Searen Sareak-Network of the social third sector in Basque Country. Innobasque, Local Government, municipality. Moreover, the research project is a very positive and useful instrument for policy recommendations at both national and comparative level. Given the topic of values, specific focus will be done in value change in relation with inclusion.
