Gender, Race and Academic Profession: Inequalities in Brazilian Higher Education

Abstract

The article highlights a stratification in the academic profession, which leads to inter-institutional gender inequality. Women are allocated unequally to men between different types of institutions. Race data shows a high percentage of non-declaration, which already means an exclusion process and makes analysis difficult. This research contributes to the debate on gender and race in the academic environment and to encouraging the production of racial data in all professions, supporting related public policies.
