Affirmative action slow to take hold in Brazil's graduate science education
Briefly

Gabryele Moreira's journey illustrates the need for more inclusive policies in graduate education. Despite rising in a supportive environment, she faced challenges that highlight systemic inequalities.
While affirmative-action policies are in place at the undergraduate level, their absence in graduate programs hinders diversity. This trend underscores the fact that many talented students face barriers.
Moreira's experience as the sole Black student in her master's program exemplifies the ongoing struggle for representation in specialized fields such as nuclear technology.
Anna Venturini emphasizes that despite having policies aimed at inclusion, the progress in providing equal opportunities in Brazil's higher education system remains inadequate.
