1.1. Background information

Coordinators background
Laura Moutinho
PhD in Social Anthropology at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, visiting professor at the
Institute of Social Medicine / State of Rio de Janeiro. Areas of activity: race, sexuality, HIV / AIDS
and gender; Brazil and South Africa; research on interracial / interethnic and gay affective and
sexual relationships. Her most recent field research is about race, disease, sexuality and gender not
as separate fields of study but on a integrative approach towards a more comprehensive
understanding of discrimination and inequality, specially in Brazil and South Africa.

Omar Ribeiro Thomaz

PhD in Social Anthropology at the São Paulo University, professor at the Department of
Anthropology at Campinas State University (Unicamp) and researcher in CEBRAP. Areas of
activity: race and ethnic relations in postcolonial contexts; studies of conflict (Mozambique and
Haiti). Recently he started an anthropological research about the HIV / AIDS epidemic in Southern
Mozambique.

General team background

In each country and town, the team is composed of specialists in these particular fields: race, ethnic
and gender relations, sexuality, health studies and sexual diversity.

1.2. Goals, objectives, activities, and indicators

Goals: the project will contribute to the development of knowledge on the intersection between
“race/color”, sexuality and gender and its repercussions for young people using a comparative
perspective. The project will also give subsidies/tools for implementing and assessing social
programs developed to attend poor young people, thereby contributing to the creation of social
interventions that are more suitable to their cultural and economical contexts.
Concomitantly with the investigation, the researchers and institutions involved will also be training
new researchers from each region on racial issues, sexuality, gender and their inter-crossing
complex.

Objectives: the objective of the project is to develop a broad comparative research on “race”,
sexuality and gender in Brazil (Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo), South Africa (Cape Town and
Johannesburg) and the USA (San Francisco and Chicago). The project aims to analyze the place of
“race/color/ethnicity”, racism, material conditions of life and stereotypes in sexual behavior on the
construction of the affective/sexual and student/professional careers of young people ages 18 to 24.
The main objective is to reconstruct the biographical paths of these individuals by examining the
intersection among “race/color/ethnicity”, gender relations and social class, and their consequences
to reproductive behavior, sexual choices and academic background. We will also analyze the
consequences of such intersection to professional activities, leisure activities, religious experience
and the daily facing of social prejudices, as well as on the definition of vulnerability to health
problems. Accordingly, we will work on sexuality in its broad spectrum, including feelings,
relations and moral rules.

Activities: (1) qualitative research in each town; (2) exchange and comparison of research results;
(3) workshops with the different teams; (4) publishing of partial and final results; (5) production of
subsidies/tools for implementing and assessing social programs developed to attend poor young
people.

After eight months (May 2006), each national team must send to the coordination the partial
reports with the fieldwork data. The coordinators will organize the reports (six) and propose the

external evaluation report. This report will be the basis to the following comparison between the
different local and national contexts.

1.5.An organizational profile

Cebrap was founded in 1969 by a group of Professors, some of which retired from
universities due to circumstances of the military regime. It is a not-for-profit interdisciplinary
organization that has dedicated itself to the analysis of social reality. Its staff is composed of
researchers in different fields of knowledge and provides a link between specialization and the
interdisciplinary approach in a stimulating intellectual environment, in which the permanent
dialogue among different theoretical perspectives is key feature. Sociologists, political
scientists, philosophers, historians, anthropologists and demographers are gathered in different
theme areas, the scientific drive of which is defined by the Research Board, that gathers
regularly to discuss research and other activities results. Seminars with guests from other
national and international organizations are held as means to broadening the debate. For more
than 20 years, Cebrap has been publishing the periodical Novos Estudos, which is an essential
reference for the field of humanities in Brazil. Its essays, interviews and translations have
always been updated in the best of the academic works. Since 1986, Cebrap offers graduate
