Lap round

The Movement for Ethics in Politics (MEP) will have a special week (from 4 to 8 March) dedicated to the presence of women in various sciences. One of the most prominent figures is the movement's historian, Jessica de Assis López, professor of the pre-admission course for citizens, who on March 1 won the honors of the Master's degree from the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF). With the thesis: “Black sociability in the Paraíba Valley: Palmares de Volta Redonda Club (1940-1970)”.

“I admit that I was very nervous, and I did not invite anyone, not even my family, to watch the show, but everything went well. In my research on black associations with a focus on the Palmares Club, I reserved a space to analyze the female presence in the club. All this within the concept of the researcher Kimberlé Crenshaw for Intersectionality, which addresses society's oppression of women: Being a woman and black, Jessica de Assis commented when she learned that she had received recognition from the management of Pré Vestibular Cidadão.

“Congratulations Jessica! The honorable achievement came as a toast during Women's Week! By encouraging the approach towards women in science and research, during this week we had an exemplary example within the European Parliament coming from you. This fact has already set the tone for what Women's Week in Movement. Interestingly, many teachers from different fields have already reacted positively to the proposal,” commented Joan Mira, MEP’s Director of Education and mathematics teacher.

For example, Pedro Raposa, a professor of chemistry, has informed that he will work on the topic, including sharing the speech with Emanuel Alcantara, a chemistry academic at UFF, and one of the contributors to the book “Ciência no Feminino,” which he wrote in 2022.

“The idea is great. I have already invited Emanuele Alcantara to share with me the presentation on the subject of the book 'Ciência No Feminino'. In the book we talk about scientists, many of whom are unknown. We will even take some names from the field of chemistry, for example Tabuti-Belaticalem, which is alchemy The first in the world (1200 BC in Babylonia. Mesopotamia). “And of course, there are surprises about Brazilian scholars,” said Pedro, recalling that the different approaches of colleagues help build great articles for ENEM.

Women's Day (March 8) Special Week events will be held in Niteroi, between 4 and 8, starting at 6:30 pm, for national pre-university students, and each day will have a different approach.
