About

This seminar will present some of the results of the doctoral research carried out by Lucimar Borges, under which she researched the application and effectiveness of quotas in three public Brazilian universities.  In the first thematic axis - application of quotas - she considered the process of racially stigmatised socialisation by being black and a quota holder. In the second thematic axis - effectiveness of the quotas – she worked with the response to the stigmas, which would be accomplished by an identity affirmation, such as "I am a quota-holder, so what?

It will, thus, discuss the stigmatized racial relations among black quota students in their relations with white students and professors, pointing out how the university still remains white and elitist.
