Abstract

Abstract Since 2002, some Brazilian public universities have started adopting affirmative action for admission in graduate programs. This article explains how affirmative action changed admission processes in graduate processes based on (a) an analysis of the selection notices of graduate programs offered in public universities published until January 2018, (b) documents from the programs, and (c) semi-structured interviews with coordinators of graduate programs. The results show that, in most programs, admission processes did not change based on affirmative action. Some programs recognized the obstacles faced by vulnerable groups in accessing graduate programs and altered their procedures. Based on the institutional change typology of Mahoney and Thelen (2010), the analysis points out that more profound change is due to endogenous and incremental processes. The main factor contributing to the modification of the admission criteria is the program’s field of knowledge.
巴西研究生项目的平权行动:制度变革的模式
自2002年以来,一些巴西公立大学开始在研究生入学中采取平权措施。本文基于(a)对2018年1月之前发布的公立大学研究生项目选拔通知的分析,(b)项目文件,以及(c)对研究生项目协调员的半结构化访谈,解释了平权行动如何改变了研究生录取过程。结果表明,在大多数项目中,录取程序并没有因为平权法案而改变。一些项目认识到弱势群体在获得研究生课程方面面临的障碍,并改变了他们的程序。基于Mahoney和Thelen(2010)的制度变迁类型学,分析指出更深刻的变化是由于内生的和增量的过程。导致入学标准修改的主要因素是该项目的知识领域。
