This article is part of the exploration phase of the author’s Doctoral Thesis project. The purpose of the exercise is to identify perceptions of discrimination in higher education spaces in Bogotá (Colombia), which have three women of African descent. This work was carried out using the methodology of the Nuclei of Social Education (NES), strengthened through theoretical and investigative contributions related to the topic. The weight of negative discrimination in the academic and work life of participating African descendants is evidenced, which has been constituted over time in intersectionality between categories susceptible of discrimination inside and outside the academy.
