| Sumario: | Over the 21st century, Brazilian universities have been going through new and major changes, at different levels, as a result of the adoption of affirmative actions in their processes of admissions and permanence. Besides changes in the racial and ethnic profile of students, there is also an increasing presence of black women at Brazilian universities, which is ultimately related to the reinforcement of the black feminist thought. This increasing presence of black women is challenging previously adopted models, not only within the framework of social interactions that are now based on structures where black women occupy a leading role but also in the field of science and its different theoretical perspectives. More than ever, the research field is being required not to treat black women as mere objects, but rather as researchers and scholars that are responsible for shedding light on a new type of knowledge, with decolonial dimensions. In view of this, the main objective of this paper is to discuss, from an interdisciplinary perspective, to what extent these new changes, which contributed to improving diversity in universities, imply an emergence of new thoughts and knowledge, as well as the achievement of dignity and human rights, which was historically lost. |
