Research
LAPSIHC develops research projects that articulate the foundations of Historical-Cultural Psychology with contemporary challenges in the fields of education, work, and human rights.
Group Methodologies for Human Rights Education
Coordenador(a): Marcelo Dalla Vecchia Período: 2024-present
Human rights education is a fundamental axis of actions aimed at their promotion, and it is not enough to merely disseminate human rights content. It is also necessary to create conditions for awareness, problematization, and consciousness-raising based on the individual's experiences and their groups of belonging. Working with groups and group processes are important loci for this.
The research proposes three studies: (1) theoretical-conceptual research on the relationships between human rights education and intergroup dialogue; (2) a multiple case study of interventions carried out in supervised internship; (3) a review of elements of the historical-dialectical concrete theory of group process.

The school facing community and digital territories
Coordenador(a): Jacqueline Meireles
Investigates the tensions and contradictions in the relationships between the school and, on one hand, the community territory in which it is inserted, and on the other, the digital territory that permeates everyday relations. Examines difficulties in implementing laws 10.639/2003 and 11.645/2008 (teaching Afro-Brazilian and indigenous history and culture). It aims to:
1. Develop theoretical-methodological understandings of Historical-Cultural Psychology applied to NICTs;
2. Investigate the relationship between NICTs and teaching/study activities;
3. Analyze the impacts of NICT use on human development;
4. Examine the relationship between schools and communities, with emphasis on ethnic-racial relations.
