A produção de práticas profissionais antirracistas de psicólogas negras e a relação com seus percursos acadêmico-profissionais

Abstract

The present work aims to discuss the production of anti-racist professional practices by black female psychologists and the relationship with their academic-professional paths, questioning training in psychology in Brazil with regard to racial relations. This is a qualitative work, using theoretical and methodological tools inspired by Foucauldian archegenealogy in intersection with the formulations of Maria Aparecida Bento (2022), Grada Kilomba (2019), Silvio Almeida (2019), Beatriz Nascimento (1989; 2021), bell hooks (2013;2019), Neusa Santos Souza (2019) and Lélia Gonzalez (1984), where the field research took place through semi-structured interviews with seven black psychologists from the North of the country. Among the main results, it can be seen that in the academic career of the participants there is na absence or little discussion about the theme of racial relations, while in their professional activities there is a continuous construction, through the production of processes of collocations in collectives with others (the ) black professionals, the search for theoretical references of black intellectuals and the reading of the demands of the territory, fundamental elements to weave anti-racist practices. It is concluded that it is urgent to intensify the discussion of racial issues in the academicprofessional field of psychology and that this requires commitment from educational institutions and those that supervise professional practice, assuming their responsibility in building na anti-racist science and profession.
