About
With this training course, we propose to reflect in depth on the persistence of racism in its various configurations in contemporary democratic societies, as well as to identify the alternatives proposed for its struggle that have emerged in diverse European and American contexts (mainly Portugal, Brazil and the United States of America). Considering the centrality that education has historically acquired in anti-racist struggles, the course focuses on several crucial processes for the perpetuation of ethnic-racial inequalities and their contemporary challenge: the production and dissemination of academic knowledge, institutionalization processes racism in education, the role of education in social transformation, and the political mobilization of racialized populations. Privileging qualitative and participatory methodologies, the course intends to offer an opportunity to discuss these issues through interdisciplinary approaches.
TARGET AUDIENCE: teachers (elementary, secondary and higher education), students, researchers, activists, social intervention technicians, and the general public.
WORKING LANGUAGES: Portuguese and English
Compulsory registration.
