Ações afirmativas e ensino remoto: para além da inclusão digital

Abstract

In 2020, due to the health crisis triggered by Covid-19 and the need for social isolation, universities faced the difficult transition to Emergency Remote Education (ERE). We seek in this article to analyze the measures constructed to minimize inequalities and guarantee access to virtual activities, under the focus of racial issues and affirmative actions. We use documentary analysis as a methodological strategy, registering and investigating the materials produced by the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) in the organization of the resumption of activities remotely and their repercussions for specific and collective student bodies. The materials show the emphasis on digital inclusion, not directly addressing affirmative actions and anti-racist education. On the other hand, some demonstrations put pressure on the institution so that no one is left behind.
