Ser mulher, docente e pesquisadora em programas de pós-graduação stricto sensu, na Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul – UFFS, no cenário pandêmico

Abstract

Women have been gaining space within the spheres of society, whether in the labor, educational or other different places. In this regard, this work is a dissertation submitted to the Stricto Sensu Interdisciplinary Master's Graduate Program in Human Sciences at UFFS – Campus Erechim, in the Research line of Education, Cultures and Contemporary Citizenship.The theme of the present study is oriented to emotional health and the work of teaching at the Stricto Sensu Graduate Programs in times of pandemic. As a result, the problem that guides this investigation aims to answer: what are the challenges related to emotional health and academic work, in the work activity of professor women of the Stricto Sensu Graduate Programs from UFFS, as a consequence of the context experienced by the pandemic? Therefore, in order to qualify the support for professor women in a period of pandemic, the general objective of this study is to identify challenges related to emotional health and academic work, in the work activity of professor women of the Stricto Sensu Graduate Programs from UFFS, as a result of the context experienced by the pandemic. In the theoretical foundation, we sought to emphasize where the interdisciplinarity study is, since there are not only aspects of the area of education, but of health, psychology and history, which are linked to each other. Regarding the methodological course, the study is a bibliographic and field research. The bibliographic research involved several authors, especially Cericato (2016), Dias (2009), Esteve (1999), Monteiro (2019), Morosini (2000), Pereira (2017) and Sousa e Lima (2021), whereas the field research, which is qualitative with a descriptive-interpretative approach, presented as a data collection instrument an online questionnaire with open and closed questions, directed to the professors of the sixteen Stricto Sensu Graduate Programs from UFFS. Among the results obtained from the content analysis, it stands out the experiences of caring for professor in a context of adversity caused by the pandemic and a significant workload that caused discomfort among them. These experiences also led to reflections and proposals to better deal with situations involving remote teaching.
