“A den against State terrorism”. Ward College between 1973 and 1980. A peephole through his memoirs and The International magazine

Abstract

This article attempts to reconstruct the positions and experiences of the various educational actors of the private and Methodist school Ward de Morón in the western part of Greater Buenos Aires in the convulsed decade of the 1970s. In this sense, it starts from the following questions: ¿How did the educational community behave in the period from 1973 to 1980? How receptive were the denunciation policies promoted by the military in the institution? In an attempt to slip into approach, a set of diverse records are put into dialogue: interviews with teaching workers, directors and students, such as the exploration of the student magazine The International and the survey of the Pax Orbis writing contest.
