Proposals were sent by August 29, 2014, with documentation in printed and electronic versions. The objective of the notice was to convene and at the same time enable federal, state, municipal and community public Higher Education Institutions - HEIs to present course proposals for joining the PRE-ACADEMY TRAINING FOR ACCESS TO POST-GRADUATE ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM ABDIAS NASCIMENTO, aiming to implement training courses with the purpose of preparing potential candidates for the selection processes for postgraduate programs. The TransNegressão Course was born as a desire for the proposals made by notice no. 1, of May 28, 2014, which aimed to insert into the Brazilian educational structure the possibility of expanding access for black communities and indigenous peoples in the educational system, reducing the discrepancy caused by institutional racism. The course begins its first class in 2015 and ends in 2019. With this aim, the investigation was based on the following question: What are the effects of the TransNegressão Course on the training of black students/teachers? Based on this question, the general objective of the research was defined, which consists of analyzing the effects of the TransNegressão Course on the training of black teachers/students who have completed the course. The specific objectives were: i) to reflect on the historical process experienced by black subjects in Brazil and to record what the research participants say about what it means to be black in Brazil; ii) to analyze the proposal of the TransNegressão Course as a training possibility for access to postgraduate studies; iii) to analyze the evaluation of the course participants who completed the course in their training. The research was inspired by decolonial and Afro-diasporic thinking. As far as methodology is concerned, we opted for a qualitative approach to educational research, as it favors a broad view of the object studied and the involvement of the researcher with the social, political, economic, and cultural reality. By dialoguing with wide-ranging issues during the investigation, the qualitative study can offer not only a broadening of perspectives, but also the search for and desire to answer the questions raised. This is a qualitative investigation, and the data was obtained through interviews given by the coordinators and course participants in the TransNegressão project. It was concluded that the TransNegressão course played an important role in the inclusion of black men and women in postgraduate courses throughout Brazil. However, we need to move forward in terms of public policies on permanence and continuing teacher training in all areas.
