  • The Brazilian Policy of Funding Scholarships Abroad
    THE BRAZILIAN POLICY OF FUNDING SCHOLARSHIPS ABROAD: THE CASE OF CAPES Denise de Menezes Neddermeyer Thesis Submitted to the University of London for the Degree of Ph.D. 2002 University of London Institute of Education School of Culture, Language and Communication 1 ABSTRACT This thesis is a study on the Brazilian policy of funding scholarships abroad for postgraduate studies. The main purpose of this research is to analyse the changing rationale for this type of investment over time. The focus of the investigation is on the Programme of Scholarships Abroad of CAPES, a major funding agency of scholarships for postgraduate studies in Brazil and abroad. To do this, the research was conceptualised in two distinct layers of investigation. The first layer referred to the historical processes that have shaped the issue of education abroad in Brazil. In the other layer of investigation, the way the policy of CAPES was and is put into practice was examined. To link these two layers of investigation, research interviews with people who know the Brazilian academic environment well were conducted. In order to develop these themes, the thesis has been strategically divided into six chapters. Chapter One is the Introduction when the problem is located, the strategy adopted to develop the topic is explained, and the concepts most used in the research are defined. Chapter Two provides a historical review of the custom of studying abroad among Brazilian upper classes, from colonial times up to the early 2 twentieth century. Chapter Three describes the emergence of an institutional infrastructure to build up high-level personnel, from the fifties onwards.

Strategic choice analysis is a thriving subdisciptine in the field of polítical theory which is increasingly being called into use by students of comparative potitics. Strategic choice analysis has been criticized from a number of viewpoints. This debate cannot be addressed here; rather, this essay has much more modest objectives.

A história de Gleb Wataghin no Brasil é uma história de grande beleza e fora do comum. Não há muitos exemplos semelhantes de cientis- tas que, por suas ações pessoais, tiveram tão grande influência sobre tantas pessoas de gerações diferentes num país, que nem era o seu próprio país. Os alunos de Gleb Wataghin, e os alunos de seus alunos, espalharam-se por diferentes lugares, con- tribuindo para fazer da física brasileira o que ela é hoje. A descrição do trabalho de Gleb Wataghin no Brasil necessitaria muito mais do que uma simples palestra. Poderemos, entretanto, apresentar um pequeno resumo no qual tentaremos pôr em evidência alguns dos aspectos da sua persona- lidade como homem, como físico e como mestre. A fundação da Universidade de São Paulo Gleb Wataghin nasceu na Rússia, mas viveu na Itália, para onde sua família emigrou. Estudou naquele país e, em 1934, veio de Turim para São Paulo. Para compreender a influência que exerceu, e poder avaliar a sua extensão, é necessário conhecer algo a respeito das escolas superiores no Brasil naquele período. Havia no país uma só universidade, fundada em 1920 no Rio de Janeiro. Esta universi- dade era formada pelas escolas superiores já existentes antes da sua fundação: Engenharia, Medicina, Direito e Odontologia, colocadas então sob uma única administração, mas sem qualquer conexão – intelectual ou profissional – entre elas.

    ROCKEFELLER ARCHIVE CENTER RESEARCH REPO RTS The Rockefeller Foundation (Non) Policy Toward Physics Research and Education in Latin America by Adriana Minor García Centro de Estudios Históricos, El Colegio de México © 2019 by Adriana Minor García Abstract This report provides an overview of the history of physics in Latin America through the intervention of the Rockefeller Foundation. It is mainly based on reports and correspondence located at the Rockefeller Archive Center, documenting the interaction of Rockefeller Foundation officers with Latin American physicists, providing insight into how these scientists represented themselves. It focuses on the policies of the Rockefeller Foundation behind its support for physics communities and institutions in Latin America from the 1940s to the 1960s. It provides a panoramic – but not exhaustive – view about how these orientations changed according to the group, the topic, and the geopolitical context. 2 RAC RESEARCH REPORTS Introduction An inspiring corpus of works about the role of the Rockefeller Foundation (RF) in Latin America exists nowadays. Among such works, the book edited by Marcos Cueto in the 1990s, Missionaries of Science, is still one of the most representative, with a remarkable focus on medicine and agriculture. These areas were in fact the priority of the RF for decades in Latin America. However, other scientific disciplines were also supported by the foundation, such as physics and mathematics. For sure, the funds provided and the consistency of the institutional agenda for these areas were not as impressive as in the case of medicine and agriculture, but as this report demonstrates, they had, nonetheless, important impacts for this region.

  • Entrevista Roberto Salmeron “ENSINO PAGO NAS UNIVERSIDADES PÚBLICAS SERIA UM CRIME” Por Lighia B
    OS CIENTISTAS ERGUEM A VOZ Uma coincidência reuniu, nas páginas da Revista Adusp, dois dos maiores físicos brasileiros. Roberto Salmeron, que vive na França há muitos anos, veio ao Brasil para lançar seu livro sobre a UnB, e passou pela USP, de modo que não perdemos a oportunidade de entrevistá-lo. José Leite Lopes, por sua vez, re- cebera o Prêmio Unesco de Ciências 1999 quando a edição anterior da revista já estava fechada. Indis- pensável, assim, buscar seu depoimento. Ambos reivindicam para a educação e a ciência a grandeza que o neoliberalismo dominante tem negado a uma e outra. Ambos conferem à universidade pública (e à pesquisa a ela vinculada) papel central na produção do conhecimento. Ambos saem em defesa da ciência brasileira, acuada pelo colapso dos programas de financiamento da pesquisa, intimidada pelos ataques à autonomia universitária, ameaçada pelo desmonte do sistema público de ensino em todos os níveis. Ainda que em tom mais contido, a SBPC também reage ao desmantelamento do saber nacional, partindo para a “cartografia” da C&T nas diferentes regiões do país, em inédita maratona que entu- siasma Glaci Zancan, nova presidente da entidade. Por fim, este bloco de matérias é enriquecido por artigo de Romualdo Portela e Sandra Zákia sobre critérios e métodos de avaliação da produção dos docentes universitários, tema muito pertinente quando se sabe que a elaboração de rankings da ciên- cia pode resultar desastrosa. ✦✦✦ Acumulam-se os sintomas de uma crise generalizada do capitalismo.
