Abstract

The present research describes the insertion of African scholars in Public Higher Education institutions of the Federal Network of Brazil, in order to study their relationship with the new place they chose to live provisionally or permanently. The context takes place in the city of Palmas - Tocantins, addressing academics affiliated with the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT) - Campus Universitário de Palmas (CUP) and the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Tocantins (IFTO), Campus Palmas. Due to the complex world context, marked by economic crises, wars, environmental changes, identity crises, etc., there has been an increase in migration in recent decades, marked by different classifications, including qualified migration. The research addresses the growth of exchanges and cultural adaptations, the role of the community as an integration network and the motivations for emigration processes. In the analysis of thematic content, carried out concurrently with the discussions and construction of Life Stories, categories are addressed such as: rooting, identity, society, territory, environment, among others, from the perspective of Human Ecology, in an interdisciplinary relationship. The objective was to verify the process of insertion of these immigrants in the new country, going through the topophilic and / or topophobic relations perceived by them. The research is conducted with a socio-environmental character, as it deals with aspects of physical nature and society, that is, the Environment.
