Pro-Posições and higher education

Abstract As the Pro-Posições journal celebrates its 30th anniversary, the author analyzes the presence of higher education topics in the journal and its different approaches in articles it has published since its creation. This analysis is based on a search for articles, identification of authors and contents in the physical and digital archives of the journal from March 1990 to April 2017, and a dialog the author tried to establish between this material and the field production of studies and research on higher education in this period. The main results of this analysis include the journal’s contemporaneity in an emerging research field in Brazil and its effort to address disciplinary diversity and theoretical perspectives in higher education themes in the study period.
