As mulheres além da docência e pesquisa: reflexões em volta da estrutura das coordenações de matemática nas instituições públicas de ensino superior da Paraíba

Abstract

Currently, in all social environments, be they communication, political, educational, private and public, it is possible to see a growing debate about various social issues that were previously neglected. Gender distinctions, for example, and how they impact the lives of women in different spaces, has become a topic that provides valuable discussions. In the mathematical environment, however, it is clear that some of them are little addressed, among these points is the female representation in the university environment. Although the population of women in the classroom, whether as students or professors, in publications and in management positions, has increased, the debate that portrays and discusses these issues is still in its infancy in Brazil. Therefore, this document, with a qualitative and quantitative approach, aims to provide a reflection on the distribution of positions in the management of Mathematics courses and how gender relations are linked to it. Thus, a foundation based on gender issues in different environments is elaborated, describing how the distribution of management positions in Mathematics courses works, presenting the data obtained, making a description and discussion 9 about the data, which are significant for the critical understanding of how women are still held in standards.
