O princípio da “consideração com a diversidade étnico racial” da LDB e sua objetivação em uma instituição de educação superior: base normativa e programas/ações acadêmico-administrativas

Abstract

The research entitled “The Principle of ‘Consideration for Ethnic-Racial Diversity’ in the Brazilian Law of Guidelines and Bases of Education (LDB) and Its Implementation in a Higher Education Institution: normative framework and academic-administrative programs/actions” aims to analyze how the principle of ethnic-racial diversity set forth in the LDB is applied, in normative terms and through academic-administrative programs and actions, within a Higher Education Institution, by contrasting and/or bringing together legal and educational meanings, particularly in the context of the Federal University of Maranhão (UFMA). Methodologically, the study adopts a qualitative approach, using bibliographic and documentary research techniques to provide a theoretical foundation and to explore practices and phenomena at UFMA. The study is organized into three chapters: the first addresses ethnic-racial diversity in Brazilian society, proposing an understanding of ethnic-racial identity; the second examines the ethnic-racial issue within the Brazilian legal system, including Fundamental Human Rights, the 1988 Federal Constitution, and amendments to the LDB; the third analyzes the policy of ethnic racial equality at UFMA, including affirmative actions and other related policies. The research highlights advances in the promotion of ethnic-racial equality, while also identifying gaps and challenges to its effective implementation within a public university.
