Abstract
ABSTRACT The race category is not part of the tradition of scientific production in Occupational Health (OH) in Brazil. In general, studies of ethnic-racial relations and work refer to barriers to accessing the labor/employment market and career advancement, and discriminatory and prejudiced relationships and actions in work environments, most of which come from the field of social sciences. Contributing to this scenario is the fact that health information systems have only recently been concerned with collecting and qualifying racial data. Likewise, race still remains invisible in OH training and stricto sensu postgraduate courses. This experience report aims to present a reflection on the recent inclusion of a class on social markers and work in a public health postgraduate program, analyzing significant aspects of teaching practice and the challenges of incorporating race and other axes of power and oppression into the debate in the field of OH. Faced with social inequalities and injustices in a structurally racist society like Brazil, there is no way for OH to disregard racism in the production of knowledge about work and its incorporation in the debate aimed at overcoming capitalism that exploits, sickens, and kills black workers.
