SUMMARY:

The basic objective of this dissertation is to develop and analyze collaborative practices that expand the agency of university students with disabilities in a public institution of higher education, without losing sight of the socio-historical context and the lived process. This is an empirical study, based on the theoretical-methodological assumptions of Socio-Historical Psychology, which has at its core the ethical-political commitment to transformation and social justice, based on a collaborative construction. We bring the discussion of agency to the forefront, understanding that it contributes to human development as well as to personal and collective development, and consequently points to the transformation of realities. Data were produced during thirteen meetings with a group of ten university students with disabilities. The information produced was organized into four thematic axes, which were interpreted and analyzed in the light of the theoretical assumptions adopted. The results indicate that the agency of people with disabilities tends to be co-opted in the academic environment, given the strong presence of enabling and excluding practices that insist on restricting, excluding and making this group invisible. Although inserted in this context, the participants seek to resist, act and claim their rights, showing agentive behaviors. We observed that the collaborative movement of this research enabled the creation of a support network, of union between peers and the expansion of the agency, which seems to us an alternative for facing the capacitist structures of the academic environment and transforming this reality. Finally, we recognize that there is still a long process to go for effective inclusion, but for changes to start happening it depends on multiple, continuous and collective efforts, which involves commitment to social justice. This is a constant reflection/action that we must do as a social and critical subject.
