Nearly 30 years after the current legal framework was established following the 1988 Constitution, it is still necessary to find solutions to problems related to the democratization of higher education in Brazil. This democratization occurs at the precise intersection of expansion (increasing access and ensuring retention) with the challenge of quality, a historical and structural problem facing universities and basic education in Brazil. Researchers with academic contributions to the debate were invited to participate in this dialogue, proposing an in-depth reflection on the diverse aspects of the political, institutional, and historical reality that so deeply affects us—professors, researchers, students, and staff—in our daily work within Brazilian universities and in their dialogue with society.
