MENDES, Sandra. Doctoral training in Social Work. Contributions to the construction of science from the sociohistorical analysis in the case of Portugal and The United States of America. Sociologia [online]. 2020, vol.40, pp.95-122.  Epub Mar 05, 2022. ISSN 0872-3419.  https://doi.org/10.21747/08723419/soc40a8.

This paper addresses the creation of the Social Work scientific project based on the sociohistorical analysis of its emergence at the university, in Portugal and in the USA. Its central themes are the institutionalization of Social Work in graduate training as well as the creation and development of the PhD as advanced training. To this end, we explore the institutional determinants guiding the American case and the implementation of the same for the Portuguese case, based on documental analysis of the reports produced by the Agency for Evaluation and Accreditation of Higher Education (A3ES).

Keywords : Social Work; PhD; Sociohistorical Analysis.
