Legal Education; Legal epistemology; Epistemic Racism/Sexism.
This research will seek to understand, from the category "race", the specificities and epistemological guidelines present in legal education, in two Law courses located in the interior of the Brazilian Northeast. In a society like Brazil, forged on racist, capitalist, colonial and patriarchal bases, confronting its structural conditions is the basis for any project to transform society. However, the field of Law continues to ignore racism in its study, subordinating non-hegemonic epistemological perspectives. Consequently, the training provided by legal education will be impacted by the epistemological orientations assumed, an aspect still little explored by the literature. Thus, I will carry out a qualitative empirical research, guided by the constructivist-interpretative perspective, which will have the application of a research form and the realization of semi-structured interviews, focused on narratives, with black professors of the Law courses that will host the work. In addition, documentary research will be carried out on the regulatory frameworks of legal education in Brazil, documents that are publicly accessible and available online. The information constructed will be analyzed from the Grounded Theory of Data, which has a predominantly inductive character and does not work with the formulation of hypotheses.
