Abstract:
The Universidade Estadual de Goiás (UEG) is a public and gratuitous high education brazilian institution with eight campi spreaded in the countryside of the 7th largest state of Brazil. In 2018 the UEG started law degree in six unities, among then the city of Uruaçu, where we analyse the sudden implementation of technology mediated classes due the coronavirus pandemic. Marked by pre-existing and extreme social, racial and gender inequalities, the process of adoption of the urgency measures accented the lack of isonomy among the law students. The reasons are diverse, among them I draught: a) precarity in the access to quality internet; b) economic vulnerability provoked by the precarization of the jobs, transversed by race; c) inequality of technology access caused by territoriality, implying that rural-zone residents students are at a disadvantage; d) gender aspects that imply more reproductive job in the social distancing for the woman students in the social distancing; e) struggles in the implementation of a standard model for the continuity of activities. Our higher education constitutional tripod includes teaching-research-extension, and it suffers during a sanitary crisis, provoking a theoretical and practical dilemma that needs to be faced. The law degree experience in Uruaçu reflects the neoliberalism applied to education: in difficult processes it privileges the strongest and prejudices the more vulnerables. Thus, to study this question is to build a juridical knowling that parts and respond to the conditions of being in the Global South.
