SUBJECTIVE PROCESSES THAT COVER THE PERMANENCE OF STUDENTS FROM POPULAR SESMS AT THE PUBLIC UNIVERSITY: A case study on the University of Brasília
Student permanence; Socioeconomically vulnerable students. Subjectivity; Student assistance; Psychoanalysis.
This Research Project aims to understand, in light of the theoretical assumptions of psychoanalysis, the student retention of socioeconomically vulnerable students assisted by student assistance programs at the University of Brasília (UnB), as a subjective process in which institutional strategies to support academic training are inserted. based on the experiences of university students in their training processes. The research challenges itself to deepen studies on the subjective processes that permeate the access, retention and graduation of impoverished students at public universities; understand the reality of these subjects at UnB, in which a portion that, despite being covered by all available programs and financial aid, still does not have its permanence assured. To this end, it is proposed to situate, based on the return to the Original Darcy Ribeiro Project for the creation of UnB, the process of (re)democratization of the university; investigate, based on listening to the subjects, which are the subjective factors that put the permanence of students covered by student assistance programs at risk; identify the institutional actions and programs planned to guarantee permanence beyond the Student Assistance Policy, as well as analyze whether they meet the subjective demands of impoverished students. The research hypothesis is that guaranteeing material conditions in the permanence processes with a view to graduating from public higher education is only effective if it is aligned and mediated by actions of a political, subjective and belonging nature. In this sense, in order to support this study proposal, we bring psychoanalysis to the debate, as a theoretical framework, constituting our theoreticalmethodological tripod: education, psychoanalysis and politics.
