Oficina de diversidade: problematizando as relações de gênero na escola.

Abstract

This thesis aims to discuss the educational effects that the Diversity Workshop, which considered subjects approaching gender questions, has developed in the attendant students in a full-time public school in the city of Rio Grande, Rio Grande do Sul. The theoretical framework had Gender Studies as its base, considering authors such as Guacira Louro, Joan Scott, Simone de Beauvoir, Dagmar Meyer and Judith Butler. The ethnographic research was used as the methodological approach for this work. The data collection was made through observations during the Workshop, which were registered in the field diary. Interviews with the teachers who gave the Diversity Workshop were made in order to complement this study. Analyses were organized based on the two subjects presented in the Workshops: Violence Against Women and Women who Made Difference in Sports. It is possible to realize that even without broad information about the subjects, students were able to follow the discussions and the purpose of the Workshops. They showed comprehension and assimilation to what was discussed, associating it with their realities and experiences and also demonstrating the educational effects that were being developed at that moment.
