INTERSECTIONALITY: UNDERSTANDING THE DYNAMICS OF RACIAL PREJUDICE, SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND GENDER EXPRESSION IN THE TRAJECTORY OF COLLEGE STUDENTS THAT SELF-DECLARED BLACK AND HOMOSEXUAL
Preconception. Students. Whiteness. Heteronormativity. Intersectionality.
Taking into account the historicity of slavery systems in Brazil and the phenomena that encourage the maintenance of a social system based on the exclusion of black people and non-heterosexual people, this project proposes to understand the dynamics of prejudice and discrimination in the axes of race, sexuality and gender expression, which pervade social institutions. Therefore, it seeks to understand, based on the experiences of self-declared black and homosexual students, practices and logic of functioning of whiteness and heteronormativity in a Public Institution of Higher Education in Minas Gerais. In order to theoretically dialogue with the subjects' experiences, this project considers the production of knowledge in Social Psychology and is based on Decolonial perspectives and on Black Feminism, considering the intersectionality of the different social markers of difference. This is a qualitative study with philosophical assumptions based on claims/participatory that is committed to the construction of a political agenda, considering historically marginalized subjects and the transformation of their social reality. For the production of data, Narrative Interviews will be carried out, regarding the experiences of prejudice in the university context, with self-declared black and homosexual students. Data will be analyzed through Critical Discourse Analysis, considering historical cultural bases and power relations in the production of meanings.
