Gender and Sexuality: Where are these issues in the grace of rescue in UFRGS Geography?

Abstract

This paper aims at a brief discussion about the issues of gender and sexuality, with the intention of showing the absences of these themes in the curriculum of the Degree in Geography of Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) and what its possible consequences. Nowadays, talking about these themes in schools has become a social demand, since there has never been much talk about sexual and gender diversity as it has been spoken today. The analysis is done by a theoretical framework both by authors of the Geography Teaching line and also by Gender Studies, in the poststructuralist bias, where the concepts of gender, sexuality, curriculum and teaching are stressed.
