Abstract

The Law nº. 12.711/2012, which induces affirmative action in undergraduate studies, and the Normative Ordinance of the Ministry of Education nº. 13/2016, in graduate studies, are inserted in the context of democratization of higher education. Our goal is to analyze the implications of the Extension Course "Affirmation in Graduate Studies: a preparatory course for black men and women" in confronting racial discrimination in higher education. The course was offered by the Center for Studies and Research on Racial Relations and Education (NEPRE/UFMT), Cuiabá campus, from May to December 2019, under the Extension Program "Affirmative Action in Higher Education: articulations of experiences and knowledge in UFMT". The theoretical contribution uses references that interface Education, Racial Relations, and Gender. It is a bibliographical, documental, and exploratory reflection. The actions of the Course indicated the relevance of identity and affirmative policies for the social emancipation of the black population and the construction of anti-racist democratic projects, in order to circumvent the statistics of racism and the stereotypes that maintain whiteness in the spaces of power in graduate studies.
