POLITICAL SCIENCEAND SOCIOLOGY

The InstituteThe Instituto de Estudos Sociais e Políticos (IESP) of the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), formerly known as IUPERJ, is a leading research and graduate studies institute in Latin America. IESP-UERJ was the first graduate school in Brazil to offer a doctoral degree program in political science, graduating its first Ph.D. student in 1971. In the early 1970s IESP-UERJ added graduate programs in Sociology. Since the Institute’s founding, students have defended 229 doctoral dissertations and 323 master’s theses in political science and 164 doctoral dissertations and 238 master’s theses in sociology.

IESP-UERJ has trained many generations of social scientists, who have gone on to hold faculty positions in prestigious universities in Brazil and abroad, as well as having become researchers, political consultants and administrators in important public and private institutions.

In the 1970s, IESP-UERJ played a key role in the foundation of the National Association of Graduate Studies in the Social Sciences (ANPOCS), Brazil’s largest and oldest academic association in the fields of political science, sociology and anthropology. IESP-UERJ also was a chief supporter of the creation of the Brazilian Political Science Association (ABCP) in the 1980s, and currently houses the ABCP’s administrative office. IESP-UERJ is the institutional home for Dados – Revista de Ciências Sociais, the oldest and most prestigious social science journal in Brazil.

The faculty members of the sociology and political science programs at IESP-UERJ have acquired their professional training at top Brazilian, American and European universities. The high quality of IESP-UERJ’s graduate programs is intimately connected to the multiple research activities developed at the institute either by individual scholars or through the institute’s 14 research groups and laboratories.
