About the program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The graduate program in Sociology of the IESP-UERJ is formed by the professors of the former graduate program in Sociology of IUPERJ, that migrated to the new institution (June 2010). This migration guaranteed the integrity and the continuity of the tradition consolidated during the years of national leadership in Social Sciences research and education at a graduate level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The graduate program in Sociology of the IESP-UERJ was founded in the former IUPERJ in 1973 and it became a reference of excellence in this area. In the former IUPERJ, as well as in the current UERJ, the Sociology and Political Science programs have always had a close relationship of intellectual and institutional collaboration. These characteristics helped to create an intellectually creative alternative in the scene of graduate studies in Social Sciences in Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initial inspiration of the graduate program in Sociology involved a requalification of the democratic issue in the public sphere, putting aside the conceptions that considered the democracy merely as a political form. After more than 50 years, the format of the graduate program in Sociology of the IESP-UERJ preserves this inspiration, and is formed, on one hand, by the institutional issue addressed from the angles of political sociology and social theory and, on the other hand, by the Brazilian social question addressed from the angle of urban sociology and social inequalities. These approaches are in constant dialogue with the legacy of the country\u2019s Political and Social Thought, which essayistic has been progressively integrated to the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research lines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

a) Inequalities, Social Mobility and Work<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Given the persistence and high levels of economic and social inequalities in Brazil and around the world, our research on the subject seeks to understand issues as diverse as the meaning and changes in the various dimensions of inequalities, the social consequences of crises and economic development, as well as initiatives to solve more serious social problems such as malnutrition and unemployment. Currently, the debate on inequality has revolved around what its main dimensions are, its levels and structure, the main determinants and ways of combating it. The sociologies of labour and education, as well as all their ramifications, play a central role in this line of research. It is important to stress that the line’s objectives are not only to investigate the various and always intersecting forms of inequality, cleaved by class, gender and race (although not only by these), social mobility throughout life cycles and labour relations in Brazil; but also to give theoretical and critical intelligibility to the more general foundations of these phenomena in the national and international contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
