The Graduate Program in Sociology at the Federal University of Pelotas (UFPel) is the successor to the Graduate Program in Social Sciences, approved by CAPES in 2005 and launched in 2006. To understand the current stage of the Sociology Graduate Program (PPG Sociologia), it is necessary to highlight the history of the former Graduate Program in Social Sciences. This program began with an interdisciplinary proposal that initially encompassed different areas of scientific knowledge within the Social Sciences. Thus, in 2010, CAPES approved the Graduate Program in Political Science at the Institute of Philosophy, Sociology, and Politics at UFPel. In turn, at the end of 2011, the Graduate Program in Anthropology and Archaeology was also approved, located within the Institute of Human Sciences at UFPel.<\/p>\n
The next step, resulting from this process of disciplinary consolidation, was taken in 2012. That year, the Graduate Program in Social Sciences changed its name to the Graduate Program in Sociology (PPG in Sociology), offering a Master\u2019s degree. With CAPES\u2019s 2017\u20132020 quadrennial evaluation, the program was accredited to open its Doctoral course, approved in September 2018 and launched in March 2019. In the most recent 2021\u20132024 quadrennial evaluation by CAPES, the Graduate Program in Sociology received a rating of 5.<\/p>\n
The Program has a qualified faculty in the field of Sociology and specific research lines covering topics such as cities, the state, knowledge in contemporary society, development, labor, and the environment.<\/p>\n
The general objective of the Graduate Program in Sociology at the Federal University of Pelotas \u2013 Master\u2019s and Doctorate \u2013 is to stimulate, promote, and guide academic work, whether in teaching, research, or outreach, primarily focused on Brazilian reality \u2013 national and regional aspects (with special emphasis on the Southern Cone) \u2013 as well as Latin American and international contexts, from a sociological perspective open to dialogue, particularly with other Social Sciences. In this sense, the program seeks to train academically qualified researchers in the field of Sociology.<\/p>\n
The specific objectives of the PPGS are:<\/strong><\/p>\n I. To maintain ongoing efforts to consolidate a team of sociologists capable of developing research projects focused, on the one hand, on Brazil\u2019s developmental trends in their socio-political and economic aspects, and on the other, on sociocultural processes that transcend the borders of Mercosur countries.<\/p>\n II. To consolidate the formation of research centers linked to specific sociological fields, fostering integration between students and faculty around research groups to promote the collective production of knowledge. However, this does not imply the absence of dialogue with other Social Sciences, since interdisciplinary dialogue is understood as a central characteristic of contemporary scientific knowledge.<\/p>\n III. To establish academic cooperation ties, such as student and faculty exchanges, new research and outreach experiences, and knowledge exchange with Brazilian higher education institutions \u2013 with special attention to those in the Southern Cone \u2013 aiming to strengthen students\u2019 presence in reference centers and universities in Brazil and abroad, under the \u201csandwich\u201d internship modality during their doctoral studies.<\/p>\n IV. To promote regional integration of the PPGS through agreements and exchanges with Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. This effort aims to establish lasting cooperation ties that strengthen regional potential \u2013 in the Southern Cone \u2013 in its social, cultural, and political dimensions.<\/p>\n The PPGS annually obtains scholarships for its students provided by the funding agencies CNPq, CAPES, and FAPERGS. It also receives resources from CAPES\u2019s Graduate Support Program (PROAP) to support academic activities of faculty and students. In addition to three postdoctoral fellowships, the PNPD provides financial resources for equipment and materials.<\/p>\n PPGS REGULATIONS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n LABORATORY REGULATIONS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Current PPGS Resolutions:<\/strong><\/p>\n PPGS Resolution No. 1\/2023<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 New regulation establishing the committee, criteria for distribution, granting, and maintenance of scholarships in the PPGS\/UFPel.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Resolution No. 1\/2017<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 10\/04\/2017 \u2013 Establishes the committee, criteria for distribution, granting, and maintenance of scholarships in the PPGS\/UFPel.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Annex 01 <\/strong><\/a>\u2013 Resolution 01\/2017 of the Graduate Program in Sociology at the Federal University of Pelotas \u2013 PPGS\/UFPel.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Resolution No. 2\/2017 <\/a><\/strong>\u2013 10\/04\/2017 \u2013 Establishes rules for the accreditation of professors in the Graduate Program in Sociology \u2013 PPGS\/UFPel.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Current CONSUN \u2013 UFPel Resolutions:<\/strong><\/p>\n Resolution No. 5 \u2013 04\/26\/2017<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 Establishes the affirmative action policy for Black, quilombola, Indigenous people, and persons with disabilities in the stricto sensu<\/em> Graduate Programs at UFPel.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Resolution No. 9 \u2013 05\/28\/2019<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 Establishes the policy for offering student vacancies in stricto sensu<\/em> Graduate Programs at UFPel for university staff.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Current COCEPE \u2013 UFPel Resolutions:<\/strong><\/p>\n Resolution No. 13\/2010<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 Establishes the Postdoctoral Program at UFPel.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n GRADUATE SUPPORT PROGRAM (PROAP) REGULATIONS<\/strong><\/a> Coordination:<\/strong><\/p>\n Coordinator:<\/strong> Prof. Dr. Pedro Robertt<\/p>\nFunding Sources<\/h3>\n
