One of the most important events in Mexico's educational research is the National Congress of Educational Research where, since 2011, the National Meeting of Graduate Students (ENEPE) has taken place. Following a brief review of the literature on training for educational research and academic congresses, we suggest that analyzing ENEPE will contribute relevant information on training for research. For this reason, we studied the last two publications of the meeting (2015 y 2017), focusing on the process of evaluating papers, the profile of speakers, and the revision of submissions that were not accepted. The results show that the students with the best results are affiliated with a small set of institutions, although "emerging" institutions are also present. In conclusion, attention is drawn to various challenges that ENEPE faces with respect to training educational researchers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

How can we research our practices as educational researchers from a post-foundational perspective? How can we build tools of intellection that explain the historical and biographical conditions of the individual who performs research in the educational field? This paper centers on the subject of a biography as a discursive/textual and political subject from a post-foundational perspective. The conceptualization turns to the categories of discourse (Laclau) and text (Derrida) as a theoretical enclave, and based on current research on the academic trajectories of educational researchers, four dimensions of analysis are developed: collective experience, academic professionalization, institutional life, and biographical educational experience. The purpose is to show some examples of the emergence of the subject of biographies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
