Posso te falar do meu sonho? Lugares remexidos da docência

Abstract

This Memorial fulfills requirements for promotion from associate professor class IV to full professor at the Federal University of Uberlândia. The Memorial aims to discuss the academic-professional trajectory and, for that, received the title: Can I tell you about my dream? Stirred places of teaching. In this exercise of recreating memories, throughout the narrative of the remixed stories, I assume teaching as the protagonist. I wasn't born a teacher, but I became a teacher when I made my choice of education and profession. Being a teacher is a condition for a teacher-researcher, for a teacher-extensionist, for a teacher-manager. The dimensions of work at a public university are only possibilities because I am a teacher. Based on this premise, the Memorial was organized in two parts. The first part, in which I organized everything that constitutes me. What times, moments, professional spaces that were and are part of me. They are with me. That is why I named it the “Professor Constituent”. Each memory was named and narrated based on its importance in my constitution. There are 20 (twenty) sections that correspond to the moments of the process, starting with a timeline drawn by Felipe Menegheti. Each section begins with an excerpt from the glossary of the Paulo Freire Virtual Memorial, according to the content covered. In the second part, I appropriated the Freirean term and called it “The theory of doing”. Each of the 9 (nine) sections begins with an image of different artists. In this part, I bring what I do, what I think and how I have been and lived as a professor at the Federal University of Uberlândia, since the moment I chose my area of knowledge, my place in research, the institutional space that I have been treading, from the various constitutive paths already described in the first part. Two appendices complete the Memorial, with the Counted Time Line and the Family Glossary. Creating, writing and finalizing this Memorial was a demanding but necessary exercise for the assumption of our dreams. The dream-project as a political act that believes in the necessary social transformation, in freedom as a human condition, in democracy as the basis of society, in law and respect for all. Can I tell you about my dream?
