“Pode colocar os BO no Lattes?”: reveses e recalcitrâncias femininas na pós-graduação brasileira

Abstract

The thesis presented here seeks to reaffirm the necessity of addressing situations that are still recurrent in Brazil and worldwide: women being harassed and oppressed in the academic field. To this end, some aspects of the labyrinths surrounding the position of women in postgraduate studies will be narrated, encompassing both the historical aspects of postgraduate education and the trajectories of some prominent women in science across different times and spaces. According to the studies of Maria Rosa Lombardi (2006, 2018a, 2018b), there are public policies aimed at encouraging the inclusion of women in the academic context; however, barriers persist to this day. Using the methodological approach of Actor-Network Theory and weaving experiential excerpts into an artisanal research proposal (Quadros, 2014), some current reports and public accounts of women who have suffered abuses in academia will be presented. The aim is to reflect on the logic of productivity, violence in postgraduate studies, and its repercussions on scientific production in Brazil. It should be noted that the intention is not to discuss the research results but rather to present the events and the impacts that drive the researcher of this theme.
