Gender Issues and Education: State of Research in Brazil
Fortunato, Ivan; Iorio Dias, Ana Maria
Policy Futures in Education, v16 n5 p620-631 Jun 2018
In this paper, our goal is to present a recent overview of how gender issues have been investigated in Brazilian postgraduate studies. We hope, with the presentation of this scenario, to enable that gender studies continue to advance, but also that they find in teachers their strong allies in this important battle for a more egalitarian society. To achieve our purposes, the paper was developed in three sections. We start with a brief but broad review of the recent history of gender studies. About these, we focus on the relationship between education and gender, trying to emphasize how education can strengthen the difference between people, guiding their actions and materials in heteronormativity. In the sequence, we seek to highlight the current scenario of research on gender and education in Brazil, based on a mapping of the theses and dissertations recently defended. In the end, we hope to present teaching materials that promote the advancement of this important relationship between gender and education, with thoughts and teaching acting as the founding link.
