SUMMARY:

This thesis aims to understand how the experience of racial quotas has unfolded in a highly selective course at the University of Brasília (UnB), highlighting how students' perspectives can contribute to rethinking the relationships, movements, and mobilizations within this space both physical and academic, encompassing teaching, learning, research, and community outreach. It also seeks to assess whether the identity of the Law School at UnB (FD/UnB) aligns with a model of legal education required in the 21st century, one that fosters new educational paradigms in a decolonized/post-colonial world where legal professionals must possess a solid understanding of the mechanisms that reproduce inequality and maintain hierarchies. In this context, the thesis considers the potential incorporation of emerging topics and new content, aiming to build or open a more critical path for legal education.

The research addresses the following problem: How does the presence of Black quota students resonate within the academic environment of the FD/UnB? The research objectives are: a) to stimulate debate around the experience of racial quota policies and their impact on FD/UnB, b) to discuss whether this policy has contributed to consolidating the racial debate, c) rescue the student perspective of quota students in relation to the pedagogies of learning and teaching Law, and d) to understand both student and pedagogical perspectives in light of the transformation in higher education driven by affirmative actions.

This study uses a qualitative, empirical, and interdisciplinary approach, employing standardized interviews, fieldwork observations, and document analysis as data collection methods. The findings reveal that these students brought to FD/UnB - something it previously lacked - a black presence expressed through body, experience, and consciousness, along with their perspectives, languages, organizations, narratives, and epistemologies capable of producing counter-hegemonic knowledge and sharing distinct understandings. And, going further, they contribute to consolidating fundamental perspectives in favor of a learning community that aims to train professionals capable of entering the country's justice system. In doing so, they challenge the abstract and homogeneous conception of the student body at UnB, advocate for alternative meanings of the university, build collective empowerment strategies, share demands, develop agendas, pursue critical racial literacy, and reflect on a vision of law that transcends dogmatism and colonial logic.
