Live-writing about racial identities within Science Teaching
This dissertation aims to investigate possibilities of approaching racial identities within Science teaching, to assist in new educational practices committed to producing new perspectives on Afro-Brazilian bodies, expressions, cultures and religions. To demystify scientific and religious racism, present in the collective social imagination, which can be problematized based on the recognition of ancestral knowledge and traditional African and Afro-diasporic worldviews. With the aim of contributing to more epistemologically inclusive curricula, based on the sharing of personal and professional experiences of black women, which reveal difficulties and possibilities for strengthening identity, as well as resistance to colonial school practices. It is expected to investigate racial identities and their subjectivities, relating them to science teaching based on writing experiences. The dissertation will be in multipaper format, which will have the following organization: the first article will relate the difficulties and potential of strengthening black identity based on autobiographical writings. The second article problematizes a Comprehensive Sexuality Education that is anti-racist, through dialogue with law 10.639/2003 and UNESCO's “International Technical Guidelines for Sexuality Education”. While in the third article, the author's autobiographical writings will join the production of writings by other black science teachers, which will be analyzed based on the intersectional paradigm, which considers the encounters of race, gender and class oppression for the study. As a partial conclusion, we recognize the importance of ancestry, community identity and territories for the positive construction of black identity. As well as the problematization and demystification of hygienic issues that reinforce scientific racism. The personal and collective character of memory, the basis of live-writing, is important for the construction of identity.
