RESEARCH LINE

• Line 2: Social Inequalities and Educational Policies

RESEARCH PROJECTS

• Remote Teaching and the Pursuit of Psychophysical Adaptation in Teaching Work

Period: 2021 – Present

Research Line: Social Inequalities and Educational Policies.
This research aims to analyze the processes of remote or hybrid teaching introduced during the Covid-19 pandemic and their effects on teachers in Brazilian public schools. Through an analysis of the tensions between capital and labor in the context of structural crisis, the study seeks to understand how educators have pursued psychophysical adaptation to remote teaching. It examines new capitalist determinations regarding working conditions, habits, housing, and the routines of the working class, while exploring the subjective constructions required of workers amid the latest labor transformations in the digital age.

The study employs the historical-materialist dialectical method and draws on Marxist theoretical frameworks, particularly Gramsci’s analysis of the psychophysical nexus of labor and Thompson’s concept of experience, to observe the totality of the phenomenon and its inherent contradictions.

• Dimensions of Precarization in Teaching Work in the 21st Century
  

Period: 2015 – 2018

Research Line: State, Work-Education, and Social Movements
This research analyzed the expressions of the new configuration of the world of work in the 21st century and its externalized effects on public education and teaching work. It required an interdisciplinary approach, incorporating studies from fields beyond education. Using the historical-materialist dialectical method, this research sought to map a process rooted in the late 20th century—specifically in the structural crisis of capital in the 1970s—and extending to the present day.

The study, both bibliographic and empirical in nature, examined the links between labor and education in Brazil’s historical context of dependency. It focused on the contradictions within the political, economic, and social macrocontexts of dependent capitalism in Brazil, where the super-exploitation of labor plays a central role.
