The interview with Professor Maria Nazaré Mota de Lima addresses fundamental relationships surrounding the complex theme of language, racism, and social transformation—an issue that needs greater depth in the field of applied linguistics. The narratives she shares reveal a trajectory marked by emotions, activism, and collective experiences in various public policy contexts, with an emphasis on affirmative action in Brazil. Discussing her commitment to education, both within and beyond formal spaces, she highlights that examining language use amid evolving identities is essential for strengthening new theoretical and methodological perspectives. These perspectives, in turn, can influence educational practices where the political and ethical goal is to ensure that a dignified life is a right for all.
