Abstract
BARROS, João Paulo Pereira et al. Social Problems and its Relationship with the Research and Extension: Contributions of the Graduate Program in Psychology of the UFC. Estud. psicol. (Natal) [online]. 2019, vol.24, n.2, pp. 147-158. ISSN 1413-294X. http://dx.doi.org/10.22491/1678-4669.20190017.
This article aims to present the Post Graduate Program in Psychology of the Federal University of Ceará (PPGP-UFC), addressing its specificities, its historical aspects, its lines of research and the themes worked on them. In addition, projects and actions for national and international exchanges, social impacts and their socio-academic relevance, as well as current challenges are highlighted. The Program seeks to articulate the practice of research with developments arising from university extension, as it prioritizes in its policy of knowledge production the thematization of social phenomena, especially in the context of the Brazilian Northeast. It is noteworthy also how such specificity has contributed both to the consolidation of laboratories linked to the research lines of the PPGP-UFC, as well as to their social inclusion in order to contribute to local and regional development. Finally, the main challenges faced by the Program in the current context are indicated.
