In 2020, a group of Brazilian female paleontologists from various universities and public institutions conducted the study “Brazilian Paleontology Gender Profile,” whose main objective was to assess the current demographic diversity of Brazilian paleontologists and how the role of women has evolved throughout the history of the Brazilian Society of Paleontology. Initially, the project aimed to determine the number of professionals working in Paleontology and their demographic distribution in the country. However, our research expanded, encompassing race, Indigenous representation, LGBTQIAP+ data, parenthood, harassment, and gender violence. The present work presents the first installment of three sets of unpublished data, shedding light on gender issues and how to combat gender discrimination through the proposal of affirmative action policies that could be taken within the Brazilian Society of Paleontology and other scientific associations in South America. Keywords: gender profile, women in science, gender biases.

This article explores the feminist practices bequeathed by our grandmothers, through transcendence, even if in everyday life the word is not mentioned and/or known by the subjects, but which in its essence is present, as it is transmitted through advice, narratives, popular sayings, and lived experiences. It acquires a rational nature and was apprehended by the researchers in an organic way, incorporating them into consciousness as absolute truths in relation to feminist actions and practices. In the course of the research, concepts related to transcendence and inner access were explored, as addressed by authors such as Husserl (2006) and Stein (2003). The investigation was also based on studies on collective and individual memory, with references in Halbwachs (1990) and Bachelard (2008). Additionally, the approach entered the field of feminist geography in the Brazilian Amazon, using the contributions of authors such as Simonian (2001), Nascimento Silva (2000, 2004, 2011), and Dourado da Silva (2017, 2020). The method adopted is phenomenology, which seeks to understand the phenomenon itself, according to Stein's (2003) empathetic approach. The methodological procedures of the research included bibliographic analysis, interviews, and, above all, life reports, both collective and individual. Along this path, she delved into the exploration of the reports of the interviewees' own experiences, in which she revealed the great importance of these experiences in the formation of resilient women in the face of an oppressive patriarchal system, which pointed out that even in the face of confrontations, they managed to achieve female empowerment, which stands out in the following categories: fight against stereotypes and social expectations, focus on the education of children, resilience, and facing adversity.

Este estudo discute as relações entre o considerado patrimônio cultural e a comunidade ribeirinha do Teotônio, cuja paisagem foi profundamente alterada pela implantação da hidrelétrica de Santo Antônio no Rio Madeira, causando conflitos sociais. A análise se deu a partir de três projetos que foram executados na comunidade do Teotônio entre os anos de 2009 e 2016, voltados à preservação e à valorização do patrimônio cultural e arqueológico. Dessa forma, esta análise traz elementos da história mais antiga, contada a partir dos estudos arqueológicos, e da realidade dos moradores locais, que dão diferentes significados aos lugares e à paisagem. Entretanto, os autores levantam uma reflexão sobre oquanto esses estudos realizados em comunidades tradicionais, sob a ótica da arqueologia, podem amenizar os impactos causados à memória e à percepção de paisagem dessas populações.

No presente artigo faz-se uma reflexão sobre o papel do patrimônio cultural como colaborador na construção da cidadania, por meio da valorização dos patrimônios paleontológicos e arqueológicos. Foram elaboradas oficinas pedagógicas com professores e crianças de uma escola da Zona Rural no município de Porto Velho. Com as ações de educação patrimonial pôde-se resgatar e fomentar a cidadania uma vez que a paleontologia busca entender os ambientes pretéritos e as relações dos seres com o meio e a arqueologia busca reconstruir a história de um povo.
