Abstract

This project, guided by the Education and Psychoanalysis interface, in interaction with contemporary authors from the Human Sciences who discuss the effects of neoliberalism in the field of education, aims to carry out a clinical-political diagnosis of the processes of subjectivation and psychic suffering of young refugee students at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and to analyze how admission policies and affirmative actions for this group have been implemented. This is an exploratory study with a hybrid methodological design, using documentary and bibliographical research, a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews, with a non-probability sample (snowball). It expects the participation of refugee students from UNICAMP's undergraduate courses. The results of this study aim to understand the place that these students in situations of refuge occupy in the discourse of the university, as well as the effects produced in the social bond.
