tandfonline.com – Radio as a Tool of Education and Resistance in Brazilian Communities during the Pandemic

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: Abstract Abstract This dispatch was written in June 2020, as Brazil’s health crisis reached its first peak, when the country had the second-highest COVID-19 death toll in the world while facing major political crises. The national administration of President Jair Bolsonaro has failed to provide clear guidance for the population on how to act in times of a crisis; beyond that, he has exacerbated the health crisis by spreading false or misleading information and hiding official numbers and data. Digital methods of communication have attenuated that problem. This dispatch discusses the role of the radio as an active tool of resistance to Bolsonaro’s anti-knowledge regime and as a response to digital inequities. Although the radio is considered a technology of… Continue Reading

tandfonline.com – Horizontal inequality and ethnic diversity in Brazil: patterns, trends, and their impacts on institutions

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: Abstract Abstract In this paper, we analyse the patterns and trends of horizontal inequality and ethnic diversity in Brazil in the past 30 years and their effect on the quality of the country’s institutions. Using data from the last four demographic censuses (1980, 1991, 2000, and 2010), we estimate numerous measures to analyse inequalities between different ‘ethnic’ groups. Our results show that, in Brazil between 1980 and 2010, the trend toward greater equality shown in other analyses of vertical inequality, is also found in terms of horizontal inequalities along racial, gender, and regional lines. Nevertheless, horizontal inequalities in terms of race and gender, in particular, remain pronounced. Ethnic diversity regarding race and religion has increased since 1980. Through our regression analysis,… Continue Reading

tandfonline.com – Psychiatry, Sex, and Science: The Making of “Adolescent” Motherhood in Southern Brazil

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Research linking teen motherhood to psychoneurodevelopmental causes and pathologies has proliferated in the past two decades. In Brazil, a psychodevelopmental project of teen motherhood has gained traction despite many experts’ long-standing commitment to psychodynamic psychiatry and social epidemiology, generating epistemic tension rather than substitution. Drawing on historical ethnography conducted in Southern Brazil, I explore how this project materialized through the co-production of epistemic struggles, remedial interventions, and ontological politics. In showing how this co-production became interwoven with incremental changes in young women’s emotions, sexualities, relationships, and bodies, I describe how one particular “kind” of teen motherhood emerged and became entangled with both psychiatric knowledge-production and the angst of working-class political agency. In giving women a contested psychiatric language… Continue Reading
