Abstract:
The Universidade Estadual de Goiás (UEG) is a Brazilian public and free higher education institution, which is located in 39 cities in the State of Goiás. The present work reflects about the experience of developing the Extension Course ‘Cinema, Rights and Diversity’ (Cine Diversity), coordinated by two professors from the Law course, which is offered in the city of Uruaçu. This course has been linked to the UEG North campus since 2018, when it was created. The Extension Course ‘Cine Diversidade’ was initially designed to be offered in person, in 4 sessions, in which 4 films would be broadcast, with themes focused on Human Rights, gender relations, race, ethnicity and sexuality. Of 42 enrolled, only 12 followed the course development. The aim of this study is to reflect on the challenges of extension practices that have been carried out at a distance, due to the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. There is talk of challenges, because the adaptation of academic activities to the distance modality, imposed by university management, occurred without prior preparation and without ascertaining the real conditions of students and professors to accompany teaching, research and extension activities. The limits of remote activities in times of pandemic are evident, given that they underestimate a series of issues that distance people from the university environment, such as economic, social and psychological aspects. Thus, the reflexes of neoliberalism in the development of legal education are observed, which widens inequalities and renew the privileges of the dominant classes.
