Descriptiontext

GEMAA (Grupo de Estudos Multidisciplinar da Ação Afirmativa) is an academic research center founded in 2010 and based at IESP-UERJ (Instituto de Estudos Sociais e Políticos da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro) in the Botafogo neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The center conducts multidisciplinary research on race, gender, and class inequalities, producing the most comprehensive longitudinal database on affirmative action policies in Brazilian public universities, covering 106 federal and state institutions from 2013 onward. Its research scope spans affirmative action policy implementation, racial and gender representation in media (television, cinema, journalism, advertising, videogames), electoral politics, educational inequalities at basic, undergraduate, and graduate levels, and diversity in Brazilian science.

The center's core products include academic discussion papers (Textos para Discussão), annual surveys of affirmative action policies (Levantamentos), data-driven infographics, periodic bulletins analyzing media diversity (Boletins GEMAA), the practical guide 'Cartilha Universidade para Todos', the interactive Dashboard de Ações Afirmativas, and the Mapa Interativo das Comissões de Heteroidentificação. All outputs are distributed free of charge via the institutional website gemaa.iesp.uerj.br, which also serves as the central repository. The organization has no commercial revenue model: it operates as a non-commercial academic unit funded by CNPq and CAPES fellowships and institutional grants from philanthropic partners including Instituto Serrapilheira, Fundação Tide Setúbal, Instituto Ibirapitanga, Open Society Foundations, and Fundação Lemann. Its primary users are academic researchers, policymakers, journalists, and civil society organizations seeking empirical evidence on racial and gender inequalities in Brazil.
