SUMMARY:

I present the summary of my doctoral thesis in an attempt to invite you or them to navigate in stories that emerge scenarios of learning, achievements and contradictions. The research is being developed focusing on understanding the meanings of academic affiliation of young women who move daily from their cities to the city of Maceió/Alagoas, in order to study at Campus A.C. Simões - Universidade Federal de Alagoas (UFAL). I start from the thesis that the affiliation process - which in Alain Coulon's writings is conceived in three successive stages: estrangement, learning, and affiliation - can be complexified. Such a process focuses on the experience of learning to be a student in constant connection with the other socializing contexts attended by the girls. Thus, the problem is established: How do young women of the Pedagogy course of Campus. A.C.Simões/UFAL in daily mobility construct themselves as university students and in what way do they interpret and mean this process in their lives? Motivated by the question, the research resorts to quantitative and qualitative assumptions in the empirical production based on Gamboa's writings about overcoming this dichotomy in the social and human sciences. Thus, the investigative path begins by means of an electronic questionnaire on the Google forms platform, made available to students of the undergraduate courses on the campus. Despite the minimal participation, due to COVID-19, which distanced us from the university daily life, it made important contributions about the objective and subjective difficulties of the young women in mobility, revealing socioeconomic, family, and student issues imbricated to the meanings fostered by them about their academic paths. The second moment of the research, called to be the stage of the thesis, was based on the findings of the questionnaire. Eager to listen to the participants - because their experiences of affiliation did not fit in questions with yes or no alternatives -, I turned to the field of (auto)biographical research, based on Delory-Momberger, Rosemeire Reis, Maria Passeggi, Camila Alves, Helena Chamlian and others, with the intention of provoking reflection on a social reality, through narratives of the self. I invest efforts in biographical interviews as a methodological action to provoke narratives about the experiences of academic affiliation.  Due to the epidemiological scenario, making it impossible to approach young women from the graduation courses on campus, the focus rests on Pedagogy, for the benefit of already existing contacts. For this period of thesis qualification I present the proposal and partial analyses, based on the results of the questionnaire and an interview, which unfolds in three moments through new restitution meetings and new dialogues. In this pandemic scenario I intend to carry out three more interviews. I state for now the hypothesis that the geographical distance, related to factors, such as economic and social difficulties, as well as feelings of fear in mobility due to violence or harassment, interferes in the academic development. Concomitantly, such interferences, aligned with the demands that arise in the following semesters, make the affiliation to the university a non-linear and subjective process for the young women, who weave their own meanings to their relationship with this space and with scientific knowledge.
