A Brazilian trans historian caused quite the stir on Thursday when she showed students her rear after getting up and twerking during a lecture.
Tertuliana Lustosa, a researcher at the University of Bahia, graced students with an erotic dance which was performed as part of her gender and sexuality lecture at the Federal University of Maranhão, where she was a guest speaker.
A video that captured the moment shows Lustosa, who is wearing a tight black mini dress, climbing onto a chair, lifting her dress and exposing her private parts.
‘Educating with my a**’, she can be heard chanting at the end of her act, while students applaud and cheer.
The lecturer’s dance has provoked a mix of reactions, with several social media users praising the academic, while others argued that it was too inappropriate and ‘shameful’ for an academic environment.
‘As a student at a public university in Maranhão, I feel immensely embarrassed seeing a scene like this in an educational environment. I completely reject this ridiculous and disgusting scene’, one Instagram user commented.
Another commented: ‘We cannot normalize behavior like this within a space dedicated to education! This is ABSURD! Crossed all limits of common sense and
