Synopsis

Doing science in the sertões: experiences and idealizations in Seridó is a book resulting from a set of actions carried out by the Graduate Program in History of the Higher Education Center of Seridó (CERES) of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (PPGHC-UFRN ) with a view to contributing to scientific dissemination in the semi-arid region, based on the investigations carried out within the scope of the Master's Course in History of the Sertões. It is a direct result of the first stage of the actions of the Sertões em focus: History and Scientific Education project, originally approved in Public Notice 03/2020, of the Research Support Foundation of the State of Rio Grande do Norte (FAPERN) - call for Postgraduate Programs Emerging and consolidating Undergraduate Programs (PPGs) in Rio Grande do Norte to participate in FAPERN's Postgraduate Development Plan. After approval, it became part of the set of projects linked to Notice nº 14/2021-FAPERN - support for graduate programs for the scientific development of Rio Grande do Norte, with an emphasis on scientific education, renewable energies and Covid-19 and other health problems, with resources from the State Government, thus composing the FAPERN Graduate Development Plan (2021-2025). The Sertões in focus project: History and Scientific Education has the premise of filling needs, with regard to the actions of dissemination of scientific knowledge carried out by the PPGHC-UFRN. The program mobilizes an area of concentration around the thematic domain of the History of the Sertões. We thus reinforce the specificity and innovation of this area of concentration, since it is the first in Brazil to be explicitly dedicated to the field of History of the Sertões as an investigative domain. The project proposal, therefore, converges to the priority area of Science Education, a field of science that has been dedicated to the task of sharing information related to the production of scientific knowledge with individuals who are not, traditionally, considered as part of the university community, for example.
