GENDER AND SEXUALITY IN SOCIOLOGY TEACHING: DEBATES OR SILENCING?
Gender. Sexuality. School.
There is a contradiction between human rights and the reality of the LGBTQIA+ population in Brazil, highlighting the violence and prejudice faced by this group. Although the Brazilian Constitution guarantees equal rights for all, the LGBTQIA+ population still suffers discrimination in various social spaces, including schools. The growth of neoconservative groups and the Movimento da Escola Sem Partido, in recent years, have struggled to remove the debate on gender and sexuality from the school curriculum, having even influenced the removal of this theme from the National Common Curricular Base. This research seeks to contribute in the context of Teaching Sociology, to understand how power relations interfere in the discourse on gender and sexuality within the school environment. Aiming to analyze how the debate about gender and sexuality is taking place in the classroom. In order to investigate the research question, the methodology will be divided into three moments: bibliographic survey, data collection (documental research, semi-structured interview and observation) and analysis of the collected data, based on the post-structuralist theory, with emphasis on the thoughts of Judith Butler and Michel Foucault.
