Abstract

This article proposes to provide a brief analysis of the main challenges posed to the Brazilian social sciences due to the conservative political context. The text identifies two crucial and related processes. The first involves the economic restraint associated with the growth of conservatism in Congress and in the Executive power, and the other includes the results of the changes produced by the reduction of social and racial inequalities that altered the scenario and the actors involved in the spaces of production of knowledge.
