The representation of professors in Brazilian higher education is unequal according to statistical data from the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (BRASIL, 2020) regarding gender, race, ethnicities, people with disabilities and gender identities. This occurs for different historical, cultural contexts and in what it concerns to patterns and differences. We seek in this study a dialogue with Marx, Vygotsky and Deleuze, thinkers who highlight important concepts to the pertinent discussion to reflect the reality of education contemporaneity. The aim of this study is to analyze the theoretical guidelines that address the difference, education and work, dialoguing with the presence of different identity groups in higher education teaching. This is a descriptive qualitative research and is characterized as a bibliographic research. The research results highlight the importance of discussion and exposure of differences, which do not configure the Brazilian higher education scenario, due to homogenization, which hinders the entry of university professors considered non-standard, as well as profitability and existing commercialization in the educational sphere. The normative society needs to be transformed so that the differences do not prevent to employment and that there are equal conditions for positions in education.
