Representatividade feminina no contexto da coordenação de ações de extensão

Abstract

The presence of women in the educational sphere and in the labor market, in addition to being a struggle with historical roots, has contemporary characteristics rooted in society, requiring knowledge and diagnosis of the most diverse forms of female performance, here dealing with the public environment. Therefore, the objective of this article was to carry out a temporal survey on the representation of women in the teaching position within the coordination of extension activities in a public university, with study object being the Viçosa Federal University, Rio Paranaíba Campus, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Data collection was carried out on websites that provide reports on servers and on the institution's internal system for recording outreach activities. Among the surveys with greater evidence and theoretical proof, it could be diagnosed that women, although they do not represent the majority of university professors, are predominantly more present in the coordination of different types of extension activities (programs, projects, courses and events) than men, with emphasis on actions related to the Institute of Biological and Health Sciences, which have greater representation.
