Abstract

In a country that, historically, follows heteronormative patterns, discrimination and violence are part of the everyday scenario of the LGBT+ population, including in the university environment. Given this context, it is proposed the development of this research project whose general objective is to analyze the production of knowledge about prejudice against sexual and gender minorities in the university context. This is a scope review research to be developed in electronic databases of scientific literature; using the descriptors and/or their synonyms: prejudice, university, sexual and gender minorities, LGBT people, etc.; combined by the boolean operator AND; without search time frame. It is expected, with the development of this research project, to synthesize scientific knowledge involving sexual and gender minorities in the university context and, then, to support research and policies in favor of reducing prejudice against LGBT+ people in this context.
