PINHEIRO, Francisco Pablo Huascar Aragão et al. Teaching Work in the Context of University Expansion. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.1, pp.92-114.  Epub May 03, 2024. ISSN 1808-4281.  https://doi.org/10.12957/epp.2023.75303.

Neoliberal reforms promoted transformations in higher education. In this context, several institutions joined the Support Program for Restructuring and Expansion Plans of Federal Universities (REUNI). This happened without the necessary counterparts. The purpose of the investigation was to understand the impediments to the power to act of professors who worked in a campus structured from the REUNI. The reference of the Clinic of Activity was adopted. Three professors participated in the study, two women and one man, who worked in undergraduate and graduate courses. From a historical-developmental perspective, interviews were carried out based on images that represented elements of the work context. Constructive-interpretative analysis was used. Among the results, it was seen the intensification of work promoted by the performance in postgraduate courses and by invisible activities; de professionalization associated with the performance of activities outside the teaching profession; inadequate physical structure; high workload; pressure to meet deadlines; use of domestic space for work and invasion of free time. The findings can guide actions to promote teachers' health and provide guidelines for the discussion on improvements in work contexts.
