SILVA, Edilene Alves da  e  MEDAETS, Chantal Victória. Indigenous Students in Higher Education in Brazil: An Analysis from the Perspective of the Sociology of Education. Sociologia [online]. 2025, vol.52, pp.74-108.  Epub 30-Nov-2025. ISSN 2182-9691.  https://doi.org/10.21747/08723419/soc52a3.

The article explores the experience of Indigenous students in higher education in Brazil, based on research conducted at the State University of Campinas. Interviews and observations were carried out to retrace the students' trajectories, from primary school to university. The analysis highlights commonalities between the experiences of Indigenous students and those of students from working-class backgrounds in selective universities-a topic rarely addressed in the literature-demonstrating the relevance of drawing on studies in the sociology of education to better understand the situation of Indigenous university students.
