A Universidade como espaço de Inclusão e Integração de saberes | Vanessa Batista | TEDxUFRJ


I would like to talk to you today.
In other words, the highlight theme is the
we want for our children my case
for our grandchildren, right?
but the ufrj we want to think about
there is need for me to tell
you a bit of my trajectory
and my background
I joined the staff of the university
ufmg to law school when I
I was 16 years old, which alone
It’s already a problem for us to enter
university has to build a
academic career is when the
still can not deal with
hormones, right?
so I went to university
I did not know what I was doing there.
I did not know what the law course was
I did not know I just did not know then
It’s to go to university for me.
It was violence that got me out of the
my world and transport to a universe
totally unknown is to complete
This story I was a mother at 18 years old.
and had two children in a row
so at 19 I was the mother of two
university students in the
graduate of a course that did not know
what it was
that is, my graduation was a
horror
It is I could not fit in with me
my class I could not handle
with my life take care of my house I
I could not do anything right.
The university, therefore, does not for me.
existed during the period of
University graduate
When I graduated, I did not
I had created bonds with my class
therefore having to try to
building a career chain
a legal career, right?
in the possibilities that would be offered
after graduation and this simply
did not exist
I left college, I was good.
student despite the regrets good tim
school history
I had a technical background but I
I did not know what I was doing there for
that course of law to that diploma
in the hands
So what I did I went is to think of
put me on the job market
and this question was for me is horrible
It was horrible at the time I graduated
and I graduated in 1986 there were no competitions
in the area of ​​law as there are
today is you had and another
possibility of a career as a
trial as promoter of justice but
it was not this tender fever that
came into existence after the 1990s
Brazil
then my perspective as the greatest
part of my colleagues was simply
join the advocacy career
Private put me in some office
and then I started to come across the
first, the second great is that
It’s the first big problem of my
academic and professional life that was
gender issue, she had already
appeared back there when I had
two children and had to study and
I had to take care of my children and not
with whom to share this task already
existed
she was already with me was minimized in
at graduation because ufmg had day care
had day care for students to
and is for teachers
So, how did you have day care for our
with my children I was able to complete
to graduate but when I try to
put on the job market
with 21 years of age property with
I did not graduate, I was young, I was
beautiful
At that time I was beautiful so it was
a tragedy this only weighed against me
I arrived at the offices to make the
interview had a good track record but
I was a beautiful young woman at the
thought and worse
divorcee had just separated me
of the husband my ex-husband in the dictionary
sexist this beautiful young trilogy and
tanned means available right
so I did not want to be available
I was not available and so I
not getting a job i was already
starting to think about is to do
brigadeiro to sell out when
one fine day an encounter with this
Professor teacher graduation very
and he said how are you?
doing and thinking about selling Brigadier
he said ‘no, you do not have to
back to your place which is the
university and I was like this without knowing
if I really would go back I came back
I went back to graduate school for me
became the gateway to the
university at my desk in my
life story to graduation she did not
existed
postgraduate was the door of
entrance to knowledge was the door
of entry into the academic universe
universe completely unknown to
me until that moment inside the
graduate I started to discover
that I did not need to study alone
procedures in the field of
I discovered that I could study
sociology that I could study
story that I could study arts and
This for me was one thing.
Unbelievable, I decided then
from there I pursue a career
academic degree was in the postgraduate
I did
actually friends at university
so much so that today most of my
friends in the area of ​​law are
teachers of law are not judges
not only is lawyer not only promoters
although there are also people but
my life my friends even if they stay me
accompanies until today were those who
did me graduate course with me
My first my first
graduate cycle master’s degree
I joined the doctorate immediately
and at that time there were contests
public for an assistant professor or
is at the time the assistant professor is
the one with the master ‘s degree
open a competition in philosophy of the
and introduction to the study of
Ufmg right
I did the contest was approved or is
at the age of twenty-five I was
professor at the federal university of
mines at the law school
when I entered law school
As a teacher, a phenomenon has occurred.
common in law schools
disciplines to the disciplines of
faculties of law which are
taught in other courses
engineering in the economics course in
administration course
Now I was a young teacher, I
I was studying doctorate I was only
master ie I was the lowest
scale in the academic hierarchy within
of college right what they did
With me they put me to teach outside
of law school
so I left college right to
give lessons to future engineers
economists and accountants right then
this was kind of an internship
a kind of refrigerator
They put me in this refrigerator.
This for me was the best thing that I
happened in life when I
I entered the engineering school for the
faculty of economics and
administration
I could live together and live a life.
experience that most of the
teachers that are let’s say so
monogamous
your only discipline can not
living I had to prepare classes that
were appropriate
what a future economist expected
the area of law
the future engineer in the field of law
and within the engineering
I also needed to juggle
because what you want to know is where
mining engineer is not exactly the
that the civil engineer needs to know
on the right
so as well as learning more about
my own on my own
training I had the opportunity to
to live with other areas and learn
other things, huh?
however my PhD research
is concomitant with this experience
was gradually
aimed at discussing rights
humans
Does anyone here know anything that
to be more interdisciplinary than
human rights something that can
to break the barriers of knowledge
that human rights
so I started working rights
human and this research eventually led to
a conclusion of a doctoral thesis
which was an area
very different from the area of ​​my
Department
at that time’re then study
human rights he was concentrated
faculties of law in the
constitutional law departments
and public international law
that is, I became a teacher
out of context
within the department for which I
had I had a contest?
What was the solution I did?
another contest next door
so I did a door-to-door contest
this change of room within the
even at the law school of the
ufmg had a consequence that was the
next I’m in there.
Department
the expectation is that I would be a
professor of constitutional law
constitutional law only capes locke
I worked with human rights for
work with human rights
my natural trajectory was I had
deviations or is it I could not
talk about human rights or us in
sphere of constitutional law
I needed to work with the right
internationally I had
I missed studying science
politics I had to understand some
thing of economy I had to know
international relations
so I was absolutely
bored in that department by giving
constitutional law classroom only to
the law course was so shocking
for me this experience was so
overwhelming that I decided to do another
graduation course
I finished my doctorate and went to do
architecture
there I started to do architecture and
several reasons in that one at that time
I could not not finish the course.
I did the course until almost the end when
I was coming near the end of the
I left the course and went to do a
specialization in the history of the
architecture
either my biggest dissatisfaction was the
law school I do not fit
I did not fit in that space
I did not fit in that space because he
was a space that was not
interdisciplinary because he was a
space in which I did not feel
included
So I stayed in this drama in this
language without knowing exactly what I
was doing there people were looking
For me, you do not know exactly what I
I was doing there too and I was
giving class giving class and plural by
several reasons
I ended up firing me from the fire me ufmg
ufmg and came to UFRJ ten years
I’m in ufrj I’m 25 years old
academic career
so when I came to see you
I arrived at a law school in
national faculty of law which was
scorched earth
the national faculty of law she
had been completely disassembled
during the military dictatorship for having been
dismantled during the military dictatorship
she was a university is a
faculty that did not have structure
physics need to have an idea
use the bathroom of the manoel bar that
It was across the street from the
had toilet running in college
national
she had just suffered a
university council intervention
so I got into this new wave of
was a wonderful thing.
because from there I and the new
colleagues just getting into college
national law had that we had
that rebuilding graduate
graduation and the structure itself
physics of the national college building
was a collective project and I
I felt extremely welcomed by this
design inside the ufrj then it’s aa
at that moment we
we rolled up our sleeves and went
rebuilding the academic curriculum
bringing inside what we
teachers who had just finished
to come in we thought it was
important
we have brought in other elements that
those hard core of the right
that was present in my college
of law of ufmg a faculty
traditional old
had not suffered this break we
we started to see the possibility of
bring sociology anthropology science
politics history inside our
program and we did it and we
a graduate degree that has a line
research a line of mania of
absolutely unprecedented concentration and
it’s called human rights society art
and then I fit in there I found the
my place
So, is the university a few
questions to answer the question
What university do we want?
which is I consider extremely
relevant
the first first question to
university it has to be inclusive
it has to be inclusive since
graduation and this inclusive being
means we have to develop
affections
we teachers need to be a
little from our stage
we need to learn from our
students like I was a young teacher
I did not feel included because I
I was downstairs in the structure of
academy as a student, I do not
she felt welcomed in the
University graduate
so the university I want to
my children to my grandchildren this
ufrj she has to be inclusive she has
To Bring Women In
There are several possible mechanisms right
the young like me at that time with
small children if I had not
nursery I would not have told me not
I would be here talking to you
This university has to be
included for the social classes that
have always been removed from these processes
they need to be in here, it ‘s not
only the question of quotas is necessary
that we think of the way
effectively do with that university
be participatory in the
decision
we have to be inclusive in
relation to arrhythmia the race all
these issues have to be present
in our discussions in our
functions as teachers not only in
rights
years with professors in the arts area
professors from the area of ​​science and
technology as a professor of medicine
they have to be present are the
university I want one
university that is even
second question in relation to the
university from this mine
academic and personal trajectory
this university has to create
ways of reconciling the knowledge of
graduate with post – graduate
University graduate
it is not reasonable that we
graduation technicians that people
do not bring a deeper reflection
for our undergraduate courses
this was my experience and it was not
right.
then it is necessary for us to create
these conciliation bridges between
undergraduate and postgraduate
paid in a step between them the second
The third question of moves me and
when I think the ufrj we want
and for me is one of the most important is
the idea of ​​having purpose
We need to talk to each other.
we need to make connections between
different knowledge we need to break
hierarchies of knowledge within the
university hierarchy of power
hierarchy of whether we do not
we do this we will not be able to
refound the university and refound the
university
in my understanding is to make it
actually be what the word says
Latin universe of né totality one
bit of everything a bit
