Women, teachers and researchers

Abstract

Introduction: In this research, our general objective is to present issues that can be identified and analyzed, around the experiences of women, teachers, researchers, who were in the university space at the time of the pandemic (which began in 2019), due to of the Coronavirus/COVID-19. Social isolation, which was imposed as one of the measures to contain the virus, required (and has required) all of us to (re)think new adaptations and readjustments, especially in regard to the academic field. Teachers have been challenged to reflect on their activities in various aspects, both professional and personal. In this way, from the context of a global pandemic, we problematize: what issues can be identified and analyzed, around the experiences of women, teachers, researchers, who were in the university space at the time of the pandemic? Method: To do this, we applied a questionnaire through the Google Forms platform, to ten women, teachers, researchers and who were inserted in Postgraduate programs during the years 2020 and 2021. The data collected was analyzed from the Feminist and Gender Studies, relevant for the analysis and discussion of the nuances of "being a woman" and their experiences in the face of the demands of this historical moment. Results/Conclusion: The data highlighted the gender inequalities associated with female researchers, and also pointed to the need to rethink gender issues in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
