CUIDAR, PRODUZIR, RESISTIR:

NARRATIVAS DE MULHERES NAS CIÊNCIAS AGRÁRIAS

Abstract

We analyze how ten alumnae of the Graduate Program in Agricultural Sciences at IF Goiano negotiate their permanence in a patriarchal scientific field. This qualitative investigation is anchored in oral history, the Indiciary Paradigm, and Dialogic Discourse Analysis, methodological lenses that interpret subtle, fragmentary narrative elements as traces of broader social logics. Gender, class, and territoriality are treated as intersecting matrices of inequality that shape these trajectories. Data-theory triangulation yielded the categories of symbolic violence and resistance. Findings show that motherhood, expanded caregiving, and financial precarity curtail scientific output, postpone pregnancy, and produce guilt, yet they also foster support networks and time-reorganization strategies. We conclude that on-campus childcare, motherhood-adjusted fellowships, and visibility policies can convert individual resistance into equitable permanence.
