CARVALHO-FREITAS, Maria Nivalda de et al. University and collectives: the organization of people with disabilities in the fight for their rights. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.56, pp.210-226.  Epub 27-Maio-2024. ISSN 2175-1390.

The university, due to affirmative policies, has received an increasing number of students with disabilities. This research aims to identify whether these students with disabilities, inserted in the context of higher education, have organized themselves into collectives to guarantee their rights. The research was carried out with 186 Brazilian university students with disabilities, from all five regions of the country, who answered a sociodemographic questionnaire and questions related to disability and the collective organization of this group. Data were analyzed using content analysis, via word cloud and thematic analysis. The results indicate that university students with disabilities have not organized themselves collectively in the country. The results also show that the factors that generate inclusion and exclusion are the same: the presence or absence of acceptance and belonging and the existence or lack of accessibility. Questions arising from these results are raised, opening agendas for future research.
