VASCONCELOS, Ivar César Oliveira de; LIMA, Helen Tatiana dos Santos  and  MENEZ, Ingrid Cristian da Silva Bezerra de. Alienation of vulnerable female university students: six emancipation cases. Educação. Santa Maria [online]. 2018, vol.43, n.2, pp.313-330. ISSN 1984-6444.  https://doi.org/10.5902/1984644430315.

Female young students may come from vulnerable communities, where information on their rights and opportunities is scarce, while the meaningless information abounds. Part of them gets alienated, as they prioritize searching for solutions to more immediate problems. The other part of them overcome the vicious circle of violence-exclusion- alienation. How can they do it? How does the higher education contribute to this? A multiple case study involving six young students revealed emancipatory social experiences of these women. Self-criticism, in open spaces through the higher education, has proved to be a key element in the turn of course of their lives. The conclusions of the present research may contribute to improve the didactic-pedagogical performance and formation of professors.

Keywords : Violence-Exclusion-Alienation; Emancipation; Vulnerability.
