In order to discuss the social representation in the field of Higher Education, this work has traced and analyzed the profile of lecturers of six academic events held in 2020 by Brazilian public universities. It was sought to verify how the concept of whiteness makes it possible to understand the reality of academic relationships and interactions in ethnic-racial terms. One of the hypotheses was that the Brazilian intelligentsia is presented or represented almost exclusively, but always mostly by white (or light-skinned) bodies. The results proved an overexposure of white people and light-skinned people at the debate tables. It is concluded that, in terms of representativeness, visibility and vocality - discursive whiteness - the events make other presences invisible, perpetuating existing hierarchies at the same time they denote persistent behaviors, although not always deliberate or conscious, which have prevented the realization of righteousness (social, cognitive, epistemic) in ethnic-racial terms in Brazilian Higher Education.
