O capacitismo na experiência feminina: a trajetória de uma estudante cega no ensino superior

Abstract

Studies on the historicity of people with disabilities show that for years these people were excluded from socializing in different social spaces. Currently, after the organization of various political movements these people in search of conquests of fundamental rights to a dignified human life, based on the assumptions of Human Rights, we are experiencing a moment in which people with disabilities are gradually being inserted in the most varied social spaces, which is configured in the context of inclusion, which for a long time was not possible, due to the lack of knowledge regarding its real potential. In this perspective, the general objective of this investigation is to reflect on training paths in the academic path of women with disabilities. For this, the Life History methodology was used, through which it becomes possible to understand the intersections between individual and social aspects that involve certain groups, as well as elements of the past and present, bringing with it a better optimized understanding of this past in the present time. The results achieved through an interview, explained how the academic environment still reverberates a situation marked by training and sexist attitudes, which, in a way, minimizes the possibilities of full participation of women with disabilities in higher education.
