REPRESENTATIVENESS BLACK WOMEN IN THE SCIENCE AND ACTIONS AFFIRMATIVE AT FEDERAL INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION IN SALVADOR-BAHIA
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article discusses the representation of black women in science and affirmative action at the Instituto Federal in Salvador, Bahia. The investigation sought to understand to what extent the very presence of black science teachers in the classroom can contribute to the implementation of Federal Institute of Bahia, Salvador campus. The research was carried out through a case study with a qualitative and exploratory approach regarding the objectives. Semi-structured interviews and critical socio-historical discourse analysis were used. It was found that the denial of the black presence in educational spaces occurs in different ways, in the formal curriculum and in the teacher-student relationship. Building positive self-esteem, and becoming part of the academic space, includes recognizing yourself and being recognized by the other as a member. But, considering that the hegemonic pattern is white, male, middle class, heterosexual, having black teachers in the institution can be an important element in the process of symbolic affiliation of students.
