Estudantes lgbti+ e universidades

uma relação que tem sido (re)produzida com/na contradição

Abstract

Brazilian universities have a history that, as we know, confers a status of recognition and social prestige, although they have experienced current attacks from fundamentalist and/or ultra-conservative groups that attempt to discredit them. They are still the largest producers of academic-scientific knowledge in the country, in addition to promoting ontological and professional training that, often, is the means for individuals to qualify/emancipate in the intellectual, social, economic and cultural spheres. The study problematizes the contradictions in/in the relationships of LGBTI+ students with/in universities, discussing the categories of difference and identity from the perspective of inclusive education, the pedagogy of difference and queer thoughts. To do this, we used a state of knowledge on the topic, in addition to narrative research with gay students from a public university in Rio Grande do Sul, understanding that universities (re)produce social contradictions in the daily lives of these subjects, enhancing and hindering, at the same time, its inclusion in educational spaces.
