Cadernos IS-UP

FOCUS AND SCOPE

Cadernos IS-UP publishes original papers about specific themes with a knowledge transfer character. Aiming to work on the value of science and its impacts on society, Cadernos IS-UP seek to build bridges between the university and the society, science and practice, research and social intervention.

Cadernos IS-UP must be conceived from a sociological and/or other social and human sciences approach, being privileged papers with a focus, although not exclusively, on the following aspects:

• how can sociology and the social sciences contribute to address social challenges.
• potentialities of research results to academic and non-academic agents and organizations.
• uses of evidence-based practices among groups, institutions and other entities.
• challenges of interdisciplinarity in the context of research and/or of social intervention.
• role of research and social intervention in the processes of participation and empowerment of social actors.
• intersectionality of knowledge and actions within the public and/or private spheres in addressing the social problems and challenges.
