Uma tese preta com chão verde e limões: escrevivências de professoras-psicólogas negras e a academia

Abstract

This thesis presents a comprehension of the escrevivências of six Black women professors trained in Psychology, using autobiographical letters as the main material of investigation. The research sought to understand how feelings, affects, and meanings emerge in the academic daily life, revealing intensities, resonances, and dissonances that traverse their trajectories. The letters highlight the construction of unique modes of endurance, resistance, and creation of affectively significant spaces, strengthening networks of care among Black women and indicating that dororidade emerges as a point of convergence in these escrevivências. Even in the face of challenges in teaching, shaped by racism, sexism, and the precarization of education, these professors develop practices of resistance, care, and pedagogical creativity. By sharing their experiences, networks of strength are woven that transform the academic space into a territory of recognition, inspiration, and collective power, where teaching, living, and sharing become acts of affirmation, struggle, and existence.
