Relações de género na academia: discutindo os estereótipos nas relações de género entre estudantes de Sociologia na Universidade Eduardo Mondlane

Abstract

This work aimed to study gender relations among students of sociology, to understand how they perceive the facts of "womanhood" and "be a man" in the academic space. We wanted to examine how they construct their social representations about yourself and the opposite sex. Participants were 20 students in the age group 21-39 years old, half female. The collection of data was done through contacts with the students of the Universidade Eduardo Mondlane. Therefore, through this study we investigate how to practice and realize gender relations among students of sociology at UEM. Therefore, literature searches were conducted in order to better understand the object of study and know the views of different authors dealing with the subject proposed here. Furthermore, the work was accompanied by a field survey having been used as a technique for collecting information semi-structured interview. According to the results of the study it was concluded that: (a) the perception of the relations of gender equality among students is influenced by the understanding of cultural roles, the legitimacy of patriarchy and the contact they have with the perspectives of feminist movements (b) There are differences in the way students (men and women) face gender relations in the academic environment
