“Não vou parar”: (r)existências contra a LGBTI+fobia na formação docente em um Instituto Federal (IF)

Abstract

This dissertation aims to discuss teacher training in gender and sexuality, with a focus on combating LGBTI+phobia, through the experiences of the responsible teacher and students in a teacher training course at a federal educational institution. Brazil is still an extremely unequal and prejudiced country towards LGBTI+ people and, therefore, work that focuses on discussing this oppression in the initial training of teachers is of great value. Using problematization as an instrument of analysis, I intend to: understand how (r)existences against LGBTI+phobia occur in teacher training and within the institution's higher education course itself and analyze how gender and sexuality oppressions act in the production of subjectivities. The research aims to understand what a gender and sexuality discipline in a teacher training course can do in relation to the production of (r)existences against LGBTI+phobia and how strategies are produced to face prejudices and violence that break with the perpetuation of white cisheteronormativity. As a methodological tool, the present work used letters as instruments both to recover memories and to dialogue with the research subjects, taking on the challenge of proposing a new way of communicating (in)research, which considers writing as a method to throughout the construction of this dissertation.
