Abstract

The research “Higher Education in Sobral: historical journey from 1960 to 2020” has as its central objective, to contribute to the diffusion of the History of Higher Education in Sobral, through the historical investigation of the Faculty of Philosophy Dom José / State University Vale do Acaraú – UVA; The University Centre Inta – Uninta and the Faculty Luciano Feijão.

From the development of this research we intend to trace a historical panorama of the development and constitution of institutions of higher education in Sobral, contributing to the diffusion and expansion of knowledge about higher education in the city, while allowing us to understand the economic, social and cultural transformations in the city, resulting from the installation and operation of these institutions in Sobral.

Based on the above, the problematic of this research consists in analyzing the historical, economic and social context of the creation and diffusion of Higher Education Institutions in Sobral, in the period from 1960 to 2020, answering the questions: which are the actors of this process? What are the interests involved and what are the public policies that enabled the implementation and development? What are the social, cultural, political and economic impacts resulting from the implementation and development?
