A presença feminina no processo de criação e implementação do curso de ciências sociais do campus UEMA Caxias – Ma

Abstract

The female education in Brazil has undergone significant transformations over the years, overcoming historical limitations and promoting greater inclusion and opportunities for women. This study, whose overall objective is to highlight the importance of female presence in the creation and implementation of the Social Sciences course at the UEMA Caxias Campus, takes a qualitative approach based on bibliographic research and documentary data. It also discusses women's presence in academia, highlighting how they have historically been deprived of higher education. The study addresses the establishment of the current (2023) UEMA Caxias Campus, made possible by Law No. 2,821 of February 23, 1968, sanctioned by then-Governor José Sarney. Furthermore, it highlights the process of implementing the Social Sciences course, made possible through Resolution No. 942 of June 23, 2016. The first document analyzed was the minutes of the Meeting of the Department of Social Sciences and Philosophy of the former Center for Higher Studies of Caxias, now the UEMA Caxias Campus. Next, it analyzes Opinion No. 007/2023-CEE/MA from the Higher Education Chamber, approved on January 13, 2023. Finally, the last document read and interpreted was the descriptive memorandum of the actions carried out. The theoretical foundation of this monograph includes the studies of Barbosa (2011), Abrantes (2014), Bourdieu (2004), Ribeiro (2006), among others. The Pedagogical Project of the Social Sciences - Bachelor's Degree program was also analyzed.
