TORRES, Marco Antonio  and  PEDROSO, Amanda. Recognition of the existence of lesbians and lesbophobia in higher education. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2020, vol.26, e32636.  Epub Sep 10, 2020. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.26512/lc.v26.2020.32636.

This article resulted from a master's research that investigated lesbophobia in higher education. The data were produced by a bibliographic survey on the theme, by participation in groups related to the issue and by narrative interviews with university women who identify themselves as lesbian or bisexual. Theoretical dialogues took place with authors from the field of lesbians in a post-structuralist perspective. We perceive that in the university, the processes of recognition of lesbian experiences and lesbophobia are precarious, indicating that it is necessary to question the limits of an education that proposes itself to be democratic, participatory, and not heteronormative.

Keywords : Lesbianities; Lesbophobia; Higher Education; Heteronormativity.
