Meninas do radium: as mídias digitais como instrumento para inclusão de gênero na física durante a pandemia de covid-19 no Brasil
In the exact sciences we find an extremely restrictive scenario for women, especially black women, who are unlikely to be able to ascend in their careers and be awarded with grants.

| Sumario: | In the exact sciences we find an extremely restrictive scenario for women, especially black women, who are unlikely to be able to ascend in their careers and be awarded with grants. The “Meninas do Radium: A Periferia também faz Ciência” is a project of the Physics department of UFRRJ, which aims to develop research and extension activities, aimed at gender equity in this field within an intersectional perspective, in terms of gender, race, class and anti-ableism. After the start of the covid-19 pandemic, it was necessary to migrate to virtual spaces, which presented itself as a challenge. The first digital activity was a short course of Nuclear Physics, exclu sively for women. We started a channel on YouTube where we present Lives and workshops, almost exclusively taught by women. The relevance achieved by the project, made possible by the use of digital media, took him from the Rio de Janeiro’s periphery to the rest of Brazil. In addition to gender inclusion, we observed comments on racial, class and human rights issues. We hope to continue to inspire students and researchers in the Exact Sciences as well as to enter this debate. |
