Dos interiores à universidade: análise documental das trajetórias estudantis no contexto amazônico

Abstract

This article analyzes the conditions of permanence of students from the interior of Amazonas in public higher education, considering the territorial, sociocultural, and historical specificities that shape their trajectories. The general objective is to analyze the conditions of permanence of students from the interior of Amazonas in public universities. The specific objectives are: 1) To map the works produced within the scope of the Humanitas/PROCAD Projects on the permanence of students from the interior of Amazonas in public universities; 2) To identify the most recurrent aspects in the productions regarding the conditions of permanence of students from the interior of Amazonas in public universities; and 3) To analyze how the results of the Humanitas/PROCAD Projects can support institutional policies of support and permanence aimed at students from the interior of Amazonas. This is a qualitative, documentary research grounded in the analysis of seventeen scientific and institutional works produced between 2022 and 2025. The selection, systematization, and interpretation of the materials were guided by Thematic Analysis. The results show that the university permanence of students from the interior is marked by several vulnerabilities, such as socioeconomic inequalities, geographical and emotional barriers resulting from migration, racial, ethnic, and gender discrimination, as well as institutional fragilities in policies for monitoring and supporting university permanence. Despite these adversities, the studies also reveal important potentialities in academic trajectories, such as support networks, identity strengthening, participation in collectives, and the positive impact of faculty members and institutional actions sensitive to Amazonian specificities. Finally, the analyzed corpus points to concrete pathways for support and permanence policies that consider aspects such as territoriality and intersectionality, contributing to a more inclusive Higher Education that is contextualized to the Amazonian reality.
