Identity
The PPFH intends to serve to redefine the scope in which both public policies and human education have been designed, in order to overcome the excessive “sectorialization” of initiatives that, in both fields, ends up determining their particularist emphasis, as well as the excessive theoretical formalism with which, at times, postgraduate education intends to face this situation. This intention should be materialized by the centrality given to politics, understood as a praxis of social formation and human formation, in the promotion of investigative skills and acting in the different experiences and realities of social insertion that candidates for the Program must embody. In addition, PPFH intends to define itself by its rootedness in the Brazilian reality, and for that purpose, it should foster dialogue and permanent exchange with Graduate Programs and research teams in other countries, with special emphasis on Latin America. This sensitivity leads both to the privileging of particular references and methodologies of study, as well as to the permanent search for new modalities of inter-institutional exchange.The PPFH intends to serve to redefine the scope in which both public policies and human education have been designed, in order to overcome the excessive “sectorialization” of initiatives that, in both fields, ends up determining their particularist emphasis, as well as the excessive theoretical formalism with which, at times, postgraduate education intends to face this situation.
