Abstract: the impeachment process of the elected President Dilma Rousseff (2011-2016/Interrupted) in Brazil, besides its political and economic dimension, national and international, is characterized by macho, racist and heteronormative delineations, directly affecting identity groups, among them those of women, peasants, ethnic-racial and LGBTs. The aim of this article is to analyze some (ultra)conservative trends in educational policies in the treatment of gender and sexuality issues without disregarding other intersectionalities. The analysis has as theoretical reference referential that interface education, gender and ethnic-racial relations. It is a qualitative approach, constituting two axes: bibliographical and documentary. The expressive advance, especially in the political sphere, of the aforementioned tendencies, works in the dismantling of rights related to gender issues in the sphere of education, articulating the ethnic-racial and sexual orientation issues, thus characterizing the setbacks that operate intersectionally.Os Desafios da Educação nas Questões de Gênero e Sexualidade em Tempos de CriseResumo: o processo de impeachment da presidenta eleita Dilma Rousseff (2011-2016/Interrompido), no Brasil, além de sua dimensão política e econômica, nacional e internacional, se caracteriza com delineamentos machistas, racistas e heteronormativos, afetando diretamente grupos identitários, entre os quais os de mulheres, campesinos, étnico-raciais e LGBTs. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar algumas implicações de tendências (ultra)conservadoras nas políticas educacionais no trato das questões de gênero e sexualidade sem desconsiderar outras interseccionalidades. A análise tem como aporte teórico referenciais que fazem a interface educação, gênero e relações étnico-raciais. É de abordagem qualitativa, constituindo-se de dois eixos: bibliográfico e documental. O avanço expressivo, em especial na esfera política, de tendências supra citadas atua no desmonte de direitos relacionados às questões de gênero na esfera da educação, articulando-se às questões étnico-raciais e de orientação sexual, caracterizando-se assim em retrocessos que operam interseccionalmente.

In this work, we tried to answer the following question: What are the approximations and the distances of the teacher formation proposal present in the Political Educational Projects (PPP) of the Undergraduate Courses in Chemistry and Physics of an interior campus of a federal university in northeast to Education for Ethnic–Racial Relations (Erer)? Thus, this article aims to analyze the PPP of the mentioned courses and Erer insertion on them. From a qualitative approach, we analyzed data collected by Documental Analysis and Interviews. It was possible to verify that the analyzed PPP do not contemplate the relation between education and cultures and, more specifically, they do not propose the insertion of Erer. The results pointed to the need of Erer guidelines implement in these courses and, more broadly, in the various institutional actions, such as teaching, research and extension.

By ethnic-racial relations one understands the relations established between ethnic groups whose base is guided by race category, seen on a social perspective. Schools should be an environment propitious to the promotion of Education for Ethnic-Racial Relations, the teacher being an indispensable agent in this process. The present study is characterized as documentary research with a qualitative approach that sought to analyze, in a comparative perspective, evidence of a proposal for Education for Ethnic-Racial Relations present and/or absent in the Curriculum Guidelines and in the Common National Base for Initial Teacher Training (Resolution 2/2019), as well as the possible implications for the teaching of anti-racist Science and Biology in Brazil. The study leads us to conclude that the new Curricular Guidelines and the Common National Base for the Initial Teacher Training do not bring concrete evidence of an effective proposal for Education for Ethnic-Racial Relations as proposed by Resolution 2/2015, which was hastily revoked by Resolution 2/2019. The absence of these indications tends to result in negative implications for the teaching of anti-racist Science and Biology, since it was previously supported, we had found in the guidelines for teacher training an alternative to insert the study of ethnic-racial relations in undergraduate courses in the area. We hope that this study will collaborate for research in the area of ​​teacher training and ethnic-racial relations in the teaching of Science and Biology, especially for educational policies aimed at training teachers.

The Media

An emerging global trend of brands advertising their products through LGBTIQ+ individuals and couples indicates growth of gender awareness across the globe. The media, through advertising, deconstructs homophobia and associated cultures through the use of LGBTIQ+s in commercials. This qualitative research paper centres the advancement of debates on human rights and social media as critical in the interaction between corporates and consumers. The Gillette, Chicken Licken‘s Soul Sisters and We the Brave advertisements were used to critically analyse how audiences react to the use of LGBTIQ+ characters and casts through comments posted on the brands‘ social media platforms. Further, the paper explored the role of social media in the mediation of significant gender issues such as homosexuality that are considered taboo to engage in. The paper used a qualitative approach. Using the digital ethnography method to observe comments and interactions from the chosen advertisement‘s online platforms, the paper employed queer and constructionist theories to deconstruct discourses around same-sex relations as used in commercials, especially in quasiconservative. The data used in the paper included thirty comments of the brands customers and audiences obtained from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. The paper concludes there are positive development in human rights awareness as seen through advertisements and campaigns that use LGBTIQ+ communities in a positive light across the world.

The much admired school system of 19th-century Germany served as a model for the educational systems of many other countries, including Britain and the United States. In this illuminating study of German primary schools, Lamberti examines an educational tradition that was the object of wide emulation, but which was often misinterpreted by its admirers. Lamberti also explores the political significance of German educational policies in the Kulturkampf, in the suppression of Polish nationalism in the eastern provinces, and more generally in the struggle between the competing strands of liberalism and authoritarianism in the German state.

For youth who are Black, Indigenous, female, or poor, coming of age within societies characterized by social inequalities presents special challenges. Yet despite the significance of being young within socially unjust settings, age as a category of analysis remains undertheorized within studies of political activism. This essay therefore draws upon intersectionality and generational analyses as two useful and underutilized approaches for analyzing the political agency of Black youth in the United States with implications for Black youth more globally. Intersectional analyses of race, class, gender, and sexuality as systems of power help explain how and why intersecting oppressions fall more heavily on young people who are multiply disadvantaged within these systems of power. Generational analysis suggests that people who share similar experiences when they are young, especially if such experiences have a direct impact on their lives, develop a generational sensibility that may shape their political consciousness and behavior. Together, intersectionality and generational analyses lay a foundation for examining youth activism as essential to understanding how young people resist intersecting oppressions of racism, heteropatriarchy, class exploitation, and colonialism.

Positive Concept

The article explores some of the composite concepts of democracy that were used in Sweden, primarily by the Social Democrats during the interwar years. Should these be seen as pluralizations of the collective singular democracy or as something qualitatively new? By showing how these concepts relate to each other and to democracy as a whole, the article argues that they should be considered statements about democracy as one entity, that democracy did not only concern the political sphere, but was generally important throughout the whole of society. The article also examines the Swedish parliamentarians' attitudes toward democracy after the realization of universal suffrage, and argues that democracy was eventually perceived as such a positive concept that opponents of what was labeled democratic reforms had to reformulate the political issues into different words in order to avoid coming across as undemocratic.
