Affirmative actions are a quick and efficient way to promote equality and access to opportunities in countries with historically marginalized populations, contributing to the strengthening of civil rights and democracy insofar as they favor the removal of these populations from the situation of social exclusion and sub-citizenship in which they were inserted.
This seminar aims to discuss the relevance of affirmative action as a tool for promoting diversity in universities and the challenges involved in university governance to protect mental health and promote academic success for students from historically marginalized populations who enter universities.
