Polos de Cidadania, translated as Citizenship Hubs, is a research and outreach program of UFMG Law School. Its aims are the effectiveness of human rights and the construction of knowledge through the dialogue between the academic and the non-academic. It works with social groups and individuals with a history of exclusion and risk trajectory.
The seminar talks about the experiences of Polos, specifically a recent research and outreach work in a slum, in the city of Belo Horizonte. It proposes a discussion from this experience about the possibilities and limits of social change through social sciences. The talk approaches themes related to the subject object relation; the setting of research agenda; the construction of research instruments, the dialogue between different types of knowledge; and the relationship between science and politics.
