Abstract

This project aims to analyze the life and educational trajectories of quilombola women from Bahia who accessed universities through affirmative action policies, investigating conditions of access, permanence, and experiences linked to the pedagogical, social, and scientific dynamics of universities. In methodological terms, we propose the survey and analysis of trajectories, thought of as individual and collective (family, community, quilombola social movement), inspired by reflections on Escrevivência (Evaristo, 2020) and Escutavivência. The data and information collected during the development of the research will be recorded in a google doc form, field diary, and audio-recorded interviews, and will later be analyzed in order to construct a set of ethnobiographical (Gonçalves, 2012), sociological (Lahire, 2004), and prosopographic (Monteiro, 2014) portraits.
