A criação da Universidade do Estado da Bahia, Campus I : entre relatos pessoais e histórias institucionais (1980-1983)

Abstract

The history of Brazilian universities is marked by the fusion of isolated higher education institutions. This basic condition was present in the composition of Universities created in contemporary times, such as the University of the State of Bahia, whose creation took place after the then Superintendence of Higher Education of the State of Bahia (SESEB). The research was linked to the History of Education and aims to understand the continuities and ruptures imbricated in the historical dynamics that gave rise to the creation of UNEB, with its creation being our object of research. As the main source, we used oral reports from employees of the institution, as well as institutional documents and newspapers circulating in the State. We chose as a time frame the period between 1980 and 1983, marked by the transition from the Superintendence of Higher Education of the State of Bahia to the University of the State of Bahia.
