The field and the "research subfield of Sociology Teaching" in Brazil

This article presents an overview of recent advances in the field of Sociology Teaching in Brazil, with an emphasis on its research subfield. Based on the analysis of a set of investigations, the composition of these social spheres is outlined, highlighting their structures, the agents operating within them, and the symbolic capital that is valued. The study reveals the growth of academic production, the establishment of specialized journals, the organization of scientific events, and the formation of researcher networks. However, challenges persist, such as the concentration of production among a few authors, regional inequalities in the distribution of research groups, the low international visibility of the subfield, and the need for stronger connections between the academic and educational settings.
