Abstract

The article analyses the work practices of Brazilian social scientists in graduate programs. We critically engage with the current scholarship on the subject to raise the following questions: a) how do professors and researchers experience their work practices, particularly teaching, researching and writing? B) Is the increasing imposition of new bureaucratic mechanisms of work control threatening the autonomy of scientific work? The article answers these questions by drawing from a national survey applied in 2018 and from a set of interviews conducted between 2016 and 2018. We argue that social scientists manage to produce spaces of autonomy in their daily routines, although through a highly individualized negotiation which lacks both institutional and collective arrangements.
