Abstract

This article presents a case study on the topic of algorithmic racism in software development, focusing on racial literacy in higher education. The study involved students and instructors at the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (Brazil) to investigate their level of knowledge about algorithmic racism. The main objective was to understand whether this knowledge is present in any way in courses related to information technology. The results reveal important insights into awareness and understanding of algorithmic racism within academia, highlighting areas of opportunity to promote more inclusive and comprehensive teaching on these crucial issues in the technology industry.
