Abstract

The research entitled: “Trajectories of lesbian teachers in basic education: teachers knowledge as resistances” aims to know the teachers knowledge and a teachers identity constituted by the lesbianitys, and lesbian teachers in of basic education. To achieve this goal, we chose the methodology of the “Snow Ball”, that allow us to locate to find seven lesbians teachers, in Northeast region of Brazil. We also use the autobiographical method as inspiration, to identify, through life trajectories, the teachers knowledge, when understanding it as resistance. The formula of this hybrid methodology is anchored in qualitative research in education, in feminists, in autobiographical narratives, or in the stories of those contemplated, in the trajectories of the teachers. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with lesbian teachers, as protagonists of the study who declared their sexual orientation in their workplaces. In this way, teachers knowledge are used by these women to welcome and protect students who identify with their different models, as their identities according to their orientations, forms of resistance against harrasment that this queer students may have soffer in the school. Also, through our trajectories and studies, to make these trajectories visible and teachers and professors must be formed by trainers. It is a study that can contribute to the expansion of knowledge in the field of education, from lesbians, to guidance, even to the strengthening and professional stability of lesbian teachers in their workplaces, which is not currently available. assured by the known instances of participation.
