SUMMARY:

The subject of this dissertation is the work of professors in Brazilian postgraduate programs, considering the possible relationships between working conditions and the illness of these professionals, starting from the broader context of neoliberalism. We understand the pressure for academic production and publication, induced by the CAPES evaluation model, which unfolds into productivism, as a specific form of precarization in this context. To address the proposed object of analysis, we problematize how the neoliberal context impacts the health of professors in postgraduate programs, considering, among other things, illnesses that go beyond the physical, relating directly to the formation of subjectivities and the possible relationships with the health of these professionals. Based on these conditioning factors, our objective is to present, through the corresponding public policies, the reconfigurations of teaching work, focusing on Brazilian postgraduate programs, in the face of the new demands of the world of work, and the impacts on professor health. Based on a bibliographic research with a theoretical-methodological contribution grounded in a historical-social perspective of the Marxist method, we understand that teacher illness is not a given element in our society, but rather a result of the contradictions of the capitalist system. This justifies its reflection and relevance, especially in a social context where issues related to illness are naturalized, as is the case in Brazilian postgraduate studies. In addition to the bibliographic nature of the research, we propose to conduct an empirical study, based on a survey of dissertations and theses published by researchers affiliated with Postgraduate Programs in Education in Brazil, starting in 2016. This timeframe constitutes a period of intensification of neoliberalism in Brazil, using the CAPES Catalog of Theses & Dissertations, through the definition of the following descriptors: neoliberalism; teaching work; postgraduate studies; illness. Given the scarcity of debate evidenced by this survey, in conclusion, we understand that there is a research gap and, therefore, we have a point of attention when dealing with the precariousness of teaching work in postgraduate studies and the illness of these professionals. This is because we understand that it is necessary to question why this erasure or supposed 'lack of interest' exists in a topic so important, necessary, and urgent for the scenario, both for the University as an institution and for the academic and scientific functioning of the field of education itself.
