Memories of the Debate on Gender and Sexuality at Escola de Aplicação da FEUSP (1990-2020)

Abstract

The article presents the Gender and Sexuality Project of the Escola de Aplicação da FEUSP, created in the early 1990s under the title Adolescent Sexual Orientation. Based on interviews with two teachers involved in the project, as well as the analysis of school documents, the article discusses the challenges, transformations and advances of this discussion at school in these almost 30 years of debate with adolescents and young people on topics such as gender identity, sexuality, teenage pregnancy and health. Through the memory of two teachers at the school, we reconstruct some transformations and challenges faced by the project since its creation, in the 1990s, until 2020, already in the COVID-19 pandemic context.
