Research development
Coordinated by the teacher, Professor Gisela Macambira Villacorta, the research project “Educadores do Campo: genres and identities” integrates teaching, research and extension, providing undergraduate students in the Social Sciences involved, working with the Movement of Landless Rural Workers (MST), developing research on various dimensions of culture, such as religion, gender, race relations, memory and identity based on the trajectories of the so-called "Educadoras do Campo", an expression verbalized both by the Movement and by the academics involved with the discussion of "Educação do Campo" (Pronera-Pedagogia). In this sense, within an anthropological approach, we seek to discuss the concept of education as a process of cultural learning.
