ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses graduate programs in Brazil from a racial and ethnic point of view, highlighting the actions of black Brazilian student groups to expand the diversity of the student body within Brazilian higher education institutions. The information presented in the chapter results from a multi-sited netnographic effort encompassing a survey on social networks and institutional websites and in-depth interviews. It considers the COVID-19 pandemic scenario and the relevance of digital platforms in mobilizing individuals, mainly black student movements, in favour of inclusive education. In addition to the digital space as a means of social mobilization, this chapter also discusses its usefulness as a pedagogical tool. This is important since the courses were delivered remotely during the pandemic period. Such a transformation became a challenge for volunteers and students who needed to develop other communication practices that involved digital dynamics. The notion of literacy subsequently emerges as a way of framing the measures taken by black student groups amid the transition of their activities to the digital environment.
