Intelectualidades negras: pós-graduação e processos coletivos de resistências

Abstract

The aim of this article was to present the discussions that emerged from a focus group that took place with graduates of the Graduate Program in Teaching (PPGE) at the Federal University of Pampa (UNIPAMPA) Bagé Campus. This first focus group is a cross-section of three groups that made up the corpus of analysis for a dissertation that investigated the impact of the PPGE on the development of black intellectuals who have the program as a common point in their trajectories, as well as the impact of these black intellectuals on the program. The theoretical framework is anchored in decolonial studies and the knowledge built up in black movements. The analysis based on the link between themes emerging from the groups, the theoretical framework and the research objective shows that black intellectuals have built discussions and reflections that have led to a collective refinement of criticality. The majority participation of black women indicates the power of black feminism, as well as the commitment of the participants to the collective, because, as can be seen in the discussions from this group, there are factors in the collective that influence the permanence and completion of the postgraduate course.
