ʺAhh porque eu gosto muito da doutoraʺ : um estudo sobre gestão de assédio adoptada pelos docentes da FLCS-UEM, 2021

Abstract

The present work aimed to analyze the sexual harassment management strategies adopted by teachers to protect themselves from sexual harassment carried out by students. We chose the phenomenological theory of Schutz. We used the qualitative approach, the inductive approach method and the monographic procedure method and the semi-structured interview. We interviewed 10 teachers from the Faculty of Letters and Social Sciences, seven male and three female. From the data collected, we found that sexual harassment is a reality in the academic context and that teachers use different stategies to manage sexual harassment. Male teachers pointed out that despite being an embarassing phenomenon, it is easier to manage sexual harassment when the victim is male. In general, the strategies adopted by the teachers are imposition of limits, dialogue with students and using the “advantage of being a man”.
