Um resgate histórico : as trajetórias das pioneiras do curso de Ciências Sociais na UFS

Abstract

The objective of this research concerns the female presence in the consolidation of the Social Sciences in Sergipe. The research focused on reconstructing the trajectories of these intellectuals who built their academic careers within the Federal University of Sergipe. To explore the social inscriptions of the women included in the study, it was essential to consult the minutes of meetings available at the Department of Social Sciences (DCS), from which it was possible to reconstruct these trajectories. I also consulted documents available in the Sociology Graduate Program and resolutions of the Council for Teaching, Research, and Extension (CONEPE) to reconstruct the process of institutionalizing the Social Sciences program at UFS. I conducted semi-structured interviews with some of these professors and with former students of the program. Finally, a bibliographical survey on intellectual trajectories and gender studies was conducted, which guided this research theoretically and methodologically. The results and discussions were divided into two sections, the first on the rescue of the foundation of the field of Social Sciences in Sergipe, from the period of the Catholic Faculty of Philosophy of Sergipe, until the foundation of the Social Sciences course at UFS in 1991. Throughout the work we were able to observe how these intellectuals worked to consolidate the Social Sciences in Sergipe.
