Abstract

LORD, Lucio Jose Dutra. THE UNIVERSITY IN AMAZON REGIONS: research, teaching and social change. Revista Teias [online]. 2020, vol.21, n.61, pp.55-67.  Epub June 08, 2020. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2020.49698.

The university's work is currently discussed and demands are made on them, creating challenges for their political actions in society. In the Amazon region, the challenges are greater because there is more inequality, processes of silence and speeches of power and violence. This article discusses these themes and investigates the activity that the State University of Mato Grosso developed between 2006 and 2019 in the Amazon region of Mato Grosso through research programs and teaching projects carried out in the reality of poor social groups. The study is sociological and establishes exchanges with perspectives on discourse analysis and education. The conclusion is that the University's action depends on internal and external conditions.

Keywords : university; Amazon, discourse; power.
