Resumo:This article presents a reflection upon the role of academia in building democracy and the exercise of sexual citizenship arising from the findings of fieldwork into the teaching of sexuality and gender in higher education institutions in Mexico. The methodology used in this investigation combined the comparison of study plans and programs, as well as the statistics of institutions that work with these issues. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted with teacher-researchers of higher education institutions in Mexico City and the states of Mexico, Jalisco, Michoacan, Chiapas and Yucatan.
