A corporeidade de mulheres negras na docência da faculdade de formação de professores.

Abstract

This research discusses the socio-spatial trajectories of Black female university professors, engaging with theorists who address ethno-racial and gender issues. The presence of these professors in higher education, still minimal, has been the subject of studies aiming to characterize and spatialize these bodies, which remain underrepresented in university departments. Analyzing the paths that led these women to academia means giving visibility to their escrevivências, a concept coined by Conceição Evaristo, highlighting their resistance against the social, racial, and sexist barriers of Brazilian society. Oral History is adopted as the methodological approach, valuing orality as a tool to bring these narratives to life, intertwined with theoretical and conceptual debates. The findings emphasize the professors’ voices, underscoring the importance of family spaces in their educational journeys and revealing how their corporealities manifest at different stages of life—whether in primary education, higher education, or professional settings.
