BENITE, ANNA M CANAVARRO et al. AFRICAN AND AFRO-BRAZILIAN CULTURE AND THE CHEMISTRY EDUCATION: STUDIES ON RACE AND GENDER INEQUALITIES AND SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTION. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2018, vol.34, e193098.  Epub 20-Sep-2018. ISSN 1982-6621.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-4698193098.

According to CNPq data, women participate in practically all major areas of knowledge. However, they are majority in areas related to care and minority in the technological and exact areas. Here we analyzed the design and development of a Pedagogical Intervention (PI) entitled “Teaching Science and Black Identity: Studies on Hair Chemistry”. In this study, we intended to think about a science that isn’t for the universal subject, thus contributing to the formation of chemistry teachers, capable of operationalizing Law 10,639 considering the African diaspora in the Americas, as an alternative to evidence the contribution of black researchers in the construction of scientific knowledge. Our results demonstrate that PI represented the conscious contact with a non-hegemonic and Eurocentric science; fostered the dialogue between differences, questioned discourses that reinforced discriminations and stereotypes, intended pre-established contents and instituted processes for the constitution of teachers capable of (re)creating practices that articulate chemical knowledge and Africanities in chemistry teaching.

Palabras clave : African and Afro-Brazilian Culture; Black women in the sciences; Chemistry teaching.
