Discrimination and inequality in educational research in Brazil after 1950

Abstract

This work has sought to present, in a historical perspective, the development of research on the theme of educational inequalities and the social problem of educational discrimination in Brazil. Initially focused on socio-economic inequalities, these issues have gradually integrated other themes such as race, gender, disability and religion. Although the themes are treated from different epistemological and methodological approaches, the academic production shows possible convergences between these scientific approaches in the future development of educational research.
