Taking into consideration the complexity of the teaching training trajectory and the possibilities it brings in the construction of subjectivities and the identity of teachers, the present work analyse the profile of black students and graduates of the Degree in Chemistry of the Instituto Federal do Rio de Janeiro - campus Duque de Caxias. Therefore, an articulation between Pierre Bourdieu's concepts with other studies in the area and some black authors, for instance Silvio Almeida, is proposed to problematize the insertion of black women and the mechanisms mobilized for this. The analysis is based on data obtained from the application of twenty-eight semi-structured online questionnaires and fifteen individual interviews, also online. From the results, it became possible to identify the participants’ profile and the structural racism regarding the construction of the course choice by the participants, according to what they consider as achievable due to their social origin. At the same time, it is evident throughout the study that many of the women are the first generations of their families to access higher education, which also influences the later ones. Throughout the work, several mechanisms and social conditions are observed to become determinant for the choices and insertions of black women in the academic field.
