Entre tramas, trilhas e “nós”: uma trajetória pessoal e profissional

Abstract

In this academic memorial, presented to the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics of the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU) as a requirement for promotion from the Associate Professor IV rank to the Full Professor rank of the Higher Education Teaching Career, I share my personal, professional, and academic journey, built over 34 years dedicated to teaching - 20 of them at UFU. My work has been consolidated in the areas of teaching, research, outreach, and management, in constant dialogue with the principles of Historical-Cultural Theory, which have supported my practice and understanding of teacher training for mathematics teachers. This memorial is woven together by theoretical reflections and memories of a journey marked by challenges, affections, and learning. Beyond UFU, I also highlight the activities I have developed at other institutions and collectives, through participation in research groups, interinstitutional projects, and the Brazilian Society of Mathematical Education (SBEM), experiences that have broadened and deepened my development as a teacher and researcher. Having reached this point in my career, I reaffirm, through the many "knots" I have built over time, my commitment to a public university that serves as a space for human development, knowledge production, and social transformation.
