Abstract

What are the main stakeholders and actors involved in the debate about the entry and permanence of the indigenous students at Unicamp? And what are the recurring themes and terms of this debate? What was the media's treatment of the matter? To answer these questions, the researcher will gather, classify and begin the analysis of documents related to the indigenous presence at Unicamp (produced by the university, by students and by the media). She will also conduct interviews with actors involved with the issue.
