CONCURSO NEGRO E EDUCAÇÃO: AFFIRMATIVE ACTION FOR THE TRAINING OF RESEARCHERS IN BRAZIL

Abstract

The article analyzes the impacts of Concurso Negro e Educação, that fostered research on education and ethnic-racial relations in Brazil from 1999 to 2007. For this, a survey of graduates was carried out in order to identify their areas of action, their insertions as researchers, and their participation in academic production related to racial issues. In addition, academic mobility and the networks they integrate were also observed. The exercise highlighted the importance of this affirmative action program for the academic insertion of the participants, and for the expansion of studies in the field of race relations in Brazil. As the main source, the curricula of the egress participants available on the CNPq platform and the program evaluation reports were analyzed.
