Permanet lecturer at University of Granada, Spain
Dr. Lina Higueras-Rodríguez is a Permanent Lecturer in the Department of Didactics and School Organization at the University of Granada, holding a PhD in Education with International Mention (Cum Laude) and academic training in Pedagogy, Early Childhood Education, and Psychopedagogical Intervention. Her academic career began with a national FPU predoctoral fellowship, and she has taught at both the University of Almería and the University of Granada. Her research centers on inclusive higher education, faculty professional development, educational leadership, and methodological innovation in contexts of digital transformation. She contributes empirically grounded institutional frameworks that integrate inclusion, accessibility, digital competence, and ethical artificial intelligence, moving beyond fragmented or tool-based approaches. Using mixed-methods research, comparative institutional analysis, and typological modeling, her work identifies structural gaps and training inequities that shape university teaching practices. She is an active member of the FORCE Research Group (HUM-386), participates in national and international research projects and networks such as ISSPP and RILME, serves on editorial boards, and supports evidence-informed policy and responsible innovation in higher education.
