Our objective is to spatially visualize people’s expressions of esteem for their living places. These approaches allow us to classify empowering or disempowering esteem in a way that enables linking these feelings to quality of life and people’s willingness to act in situations of personal precarity and risk. Our results aim to provide alternatives in understanding social demands to complement the tools that support the management of these territories.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Email:<\/strong> paulocastro@uenp.edu.br<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Lattes:<\/strong> http:\/\/lattes.cnpq.br\/0900608828526163<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Supervisor<\/strong>: <\/strong>Prof.\u00aa Dr.\u00aa Adriana Castreghini de Freitas Pereira<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Abstract:<\/strong> In the current context of the expansion of geotechnologies, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), such as drones, have been widely used for various domains, ranging from military to civilian applications. For the analysis of certain phenomena, particularly in small areas, aerial photographs have become attractive due to lower operational costs. The research aims to investigate the potential of aerial photographs obtained by drones for improving methodologies aimed at generating indicators of socio-environmental risks and vulnerabilities, based on the investigation and comparison of areas in the context of northern Paran\u00e1 State. The study will base the analysis of potentialities on two perspectives: i) technical, where, through image processing, it is possible to extract geographic information; ii) photographic language, which operates simultaneously in the field of the intelligible and the sensible, providing a range of information in various fields of knowledge, which the researcher can use to reconstruct and interpret a given social reality. As results, the improvement of existing scientific methodologies for socio-environmental risk and vulnerability analysis is expected, based on the production of a methodological strategy that incorporates the use of modern geotechnologies for the integrated analysis of physical and social environmental elements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Email:<\/strong> gmunizmiranda@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Lattes:<\/strong> http:\/\/lattes.cnpq.br\/9494596851160065<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Supervisor<\/strong>: <\/strong><\/a>Prof.\u00aa Dr.\u00aa Ideni Terezinha Antonello<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Research:<\/strong> Proposal of Environmental Justice Indicators as a Tool for the Socio-assistance Surveillance Sector in the Municipality of Betim-MG<\/p>\n\n\n\n Abstract:<\/strong> Historically, social policies in Brazil have focused on combating poverty, deprivation, and strengthening affective bonds, without questioning the socio-environmental injustices that disproportionately affect users of Social Assistance Policy. The research investigated the main challenges and suggested proposals for the implementation of socio-environmental public policies in the municipality of Betim-MG. In addition to bibliographic research, thematic maps were prepared, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with workers from the Municipal Secretariat of Social Assistance of Betim-MG.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Email:<\/strong> nathaliarosolem@hotmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Lattes:<\/strong> http:\/\/lattes.cnpq.br\/9461339651464405<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Supervisor: <\/strong><\/a>Prof.\u00aa Dr.\u00aa Adriana Castreghini de Freitas Pereira<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Research:<\/strong> Methodological Proposal by Andr\u00e9 Journaux (1979) Applied to the Environmental Dynamics of the Urban Area of Londrina \u2013 PR<\/p>\n\n\n\n Abstract:<\/strong> Based on the cartographic methodology developed by French geographer Andr\u00e9 Journaux (1979)\u2014which proposes a general legend adaptable to different geographical spaces\u2014this research aims to map environmental data and its dynamics in the urban area of Londrina, Paran\u00e1.

This investigation, through the analysis and interpretation of narratives from 15 Geography teachers in initial training, scholarship holders for teaching initiation, aimed to understand how these teachers conceive learning in\/about teaching and what meanings are attributed to training and teaching Geography (teaching experiences) resulting from the actions that composed the pedagogical proposal of the subproject Teacher Training and School Geography: From Spatial Practices and Knowledge to the Construction of Geographic Knowledge, linked to the Institutional Program for Teaching Initiation Scholarships (Pibid). This is an investigation-training with a qualitative approach, anchored in the principles of the (auto)biographical method, whose sources \u2013 memoir, training diary, and narrative interview \u2013 enabled the apprehension of the investigated object. The narratives revealed significant episodes in the life-schooling-training trajectories and highlighted the contributions of the formative situations experienced during the actions of the aforementioned subproject and their implications in the construction of teacher identity. This research was funded by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Capes), through the National Postdoctoral Program (PNPD).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Period: <\/strong>2017 to 2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n Email:<\/strong> leia.veiga@uel.br<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Lattes:<\/strong> http:\/\/lattes.cnpq.br\/9940086723504263<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Supervisor:<\/strong> <\/strong>Prof.\u00aa Dr.\u00aa Eloiza Cristiane Torres<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Research Topic:<\/strong> Environmental Education<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Period: <\/strong>2017 to 2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n Email:<\/strong> edvaldo.edvlima@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Lattes:<\/strong> http:\/\/lattes.cnpq.br\/9077154635715473<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Supervisor:<\/strong> <\/strong>Prof.\u00aa Dr.\u00aa Eliane Tomiasi Paulino<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Research Topic:<\/strong> Rural Education<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Period: <\/strong>2016<\/p>\n\n\n\n Email:<\/strong> jcosta1709@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Lattes:<\/strong> http:\/\/lattes.cnpq.br\/8909795919185303<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This research investigates the competencies of bilingual (Libras-Portuguese) teachers through a “geography of hands,” contrasting with the traditional audist perspective (“geography of sounds”). Grounded in phenomenology and critiques of hearing colonialism (Skliar, 2003), it analyzes how integrating Libras, embodiment, and Deaf pedagogy (Lopes & Quadros, 2017) can build decolonial educational practices. The study highlights four formative axes: Geographic understanding of the classroom as a symbolic space (Farias, 2023); Libras fluency as a political act; Anti-assimilationist visual-tactile methodologies; Engagement with Deaf history and culture (Steins, 1994; Santana, 2021). The “geography of hands” reframes gestures and movements as resistance to auditory colonialism, transforming teachers into architects of educational spaces that value difference. Using frameworks like Larrosa (2002), it shows that bilingual education anchored in Deaf experience transcends content transmission, becoming a political act of cultural affirmation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We live in an era marked by challenges that intertwine in a complex network of risks, ranging from natural threats to dangers generated by human action. These elements contribute to the configuration of what is currently recognized as a “risk society” (Beck, 1992). In this context, this project seeks to develop a proposal for “Risk Education” anchored in the intersection between Geopoetics and Risk Geography, two lines of study that, when integrated, can contribute to the understanding, characterization, and assessment of risks, with a focus on local-scale studies. The study proposes participatory research, emphasizing awareness-raising and risk mapping. The methodological approach includes a literature review for theoretical foundation, participant mobilization, workshops to explore risk experiences and perceptions, and the application of the “personal cartography” perspective (De Paula, 2012) and “Geopoetic Navigation Logs” (Bouvet, 2012) to create maps and representations based on participants’ experiences. The research will involve geography teachers in training, faculty, and students from the State Education Network of Londrina, Paran\u00e1, Brazil. The study aims to strengthen risk awareness, promote resilience, and expand societal participation in risk management, contributing to the construction of a culture of safety and potential resilience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
