Check out the new project of CEM/INCT for 2009-2011
CEM/INCT divulges its plan of scientific activities for 2009-2011, with a presentation of the projects related to the three research lines.
The evolution of our research activities for the past 8 years made us advance in our original proposals, maintaining our compromise to the production of innovative results in our lines of scientific research.
The new topics of investigation and new inserts in our scientific agenda point out to the growth of CEM, which is now not only a Cepid (Centre of Research, Innovation and Dissemination), already in its third partnership renewal with Fapesp, but also has become, since the end of 2008, one of the National Institutes of Science and Technology, maintained by CNPq/MCT.
The three main research lines of CEM/INCT, to the third phasis of its partnership with Fapesp and now also with MCT/CNPq, are:
a) Market, labor and opportunities
b) Life conditions, State and public policies
c) Sociability and urban life
Our aim is to identify the factors that explain the access to labor market and public services, as well as the different patterns of sociability that happen in the metropolitan life, analysing how these three dimensions affect the chances of reproduction or overcoming of poverty. These are three critical aspects to understand the opportunities as they are presented to individuals, as they are crutial determinants to inequality reproduction.
Our biggest challenge is to produce a deeper comprehension of the dynamics of these three dimensions, as well as to build explicative bridges between them. Certainly, that will require that we keep up using a line of approach that blends research strategies both quantitative and qualitative, our main line in collecting information and analysis.
Below, the list of new research modules of CEM/INCT for 2009-2011, according to our three main research lines:
a) Market, labour and opportunities
Module 1 (coordinated by Álvaro Augusto Comin) - Territories, economic dynamics and knowledge flows: international comparisons
Module 2 (coordinated by Nadya Araújo Guimarães) – Personal networks and work obtention. The non-mercantile mechanisms in market
Module 3 (coordinated by Márcia Lima) – The dynamics of color and class in metropollitan contexts
Module 4 (coordinated by Antonio Sérgio Alfredo Guimarães) – Supplanting inequalities? Experiences of affirmative actions in Brazilian universities
b) Life conditions, State and public policies
Module 1 (coordinated by Marta Arretche) – Determinants and results of the offer of public services
Module 2 (coordinated by Fernando Limongi) – Politics and electoral behaviour
Module 3 (coordinated by Vera Schattan) – Social Participation, Public-Private Partnerships and Health Policy in the city of São Paulo
Module 4 (coordinated by Argelina Figueiredo) - The access of poor to social policies
Module 5 (coordinated by Haroldo Torres) – Degrees and forms of access of poor familiesto public services
c) Sociability and urban life
Module 1 (coordinated by Adrian Gurza Lavalle) - Civil organizations: access to State and intermediation on behalf of needy populations. A comparison between São Paulo and Mexico City
Module 2 (coordinated by Eduardo Marques) - Social Networks, sociability and segregation
