Gender, Race, History of Mathematics, DiversityAbstract
This article examines the experience of carrying out an educational presentation of scientific dissemination on the participation of black women throughout the history of mathematics, for high school students who visited the Campus of Caraguatatuba of the Federal Institute of São Paulo (IFSP), in May 29, 2023. Therefore, this work articulates research, teaching and extension, in an interdisciplinary way, with the aim of examining the pedagogical possibilities of the thematic axis of black women in mathematics. To support the investigation, a theoretical review was carried out on this subject, through the search for academic works on the subject, using, for this, the “Google Scholar” tool. A questionnaire, which was designed to ascertain the views of those present on the topics covered, was answered by 15 high school students who attended the presentation. The results of this research point to the importance of the concept of intersectionality that takes into account gender, race and class identities when investigating the trajectories of black women who are professionally dedicated to mathematics, as researchers and educators.
