Interseccionalidade e o Serviço Social: Reflexões acerca da utilização do método

Abstract

This Course Completion Work (TCC), in Social Work, is the result of a bibliographical research, with a deductive approach method. Starting from the general perspective of analysis on the analytical category of intersectionality and structural racism, the research seeks to analyze the academic productions that use the intersectional method in the Social Work course at the Federal University of Santa Maria, in order to understand how this method can be employed in Social Service. This work also sought to problematize the relationship of Social Work with the use of analytical tools that go beyond those already presented and worked on by Social Work professionals and researchers. Considering that it is up to the Social Service to observe and intervene in the inequalities faced by the black population, this population, which represents the largest portion of the Brazilian population, about 56%. The research aims to present the possibilities of using intersectionality within Social Work. In this sense, it demonstrates the importance of overcoming epistemicide directed to knowledge produced by people belonging to groups considered social minorities, contributing to the defense of the professional project committed to social justice.
