Theme: Ethnic-racial, gender and regional inequalities in education

Submission Deadline: 12/05/2022

This call is intended to be part of a special issue of the magazine “Cadernos de Estudos Sociais”, edited by Fundação Joaquim Nabuco. Title: “Ethnic-racial, gender and regional inequalities in education”. 

The processes of accelerated urbanization, industrialization in the last 30 years of the 20th century, in Brazil, resulted in the expansion of public services, notably those of education. However, they proved ineffective to erode the socioeconomic, racial, ethnic-racial, gender and regional effects in the educational stratification process. In recent decades (2003 – 2016), governments have adopted more inclusive public policies to combat different forms of inequalities. Nonetheless, the Covid-19 pandemic has opened up and deepened existing inequalities, showing, among other things, how persistent and stratified the Brazilian education system is. 

This thematic edition will welcome works that address issues related to ethnic-racial, gender and regional inequalities in Education in Brazil and in other parts of the world in their multiple dimensions and aspects, according to the most varied theoretical-methodological approaches (quantitative and qualitative), without distinctions or preferences.
