Genealogia acadêmica: o legado de Suzana Pinheiro Machado Müller

Abstract

Genealogical studies are performed through oral reports, which usually arise from the family nucleus, from printed documents or manuscripts, from civil identification, from ecclesiastic documents and from the archives of the state. In academic genealogy, the purpose is to identify the ancestors or possible descendants of a researcher, not in a family way, but in the form of academic descent. This work aims to analyze the academic genealogy of the Emeritus Professor Suzana Pinheiro Machado Mueller, and as specific objectives: to identify the researcher's master's and doctoral advisees; to prospect the Lattes curriculum data of the root researcher and their advisees; to build the progenitor's family tree, as well as the one of their mentees, through several generations. This is an exploratory and descriptive research with a quantitative approach, since it fosters the relationship between the individuals who are connected to each other through their academic parents, that is, their counselors. The orientation relationships were collected from the Lattes curricula of the root researcher and their direct descendants, which are considered in genealogy , children, grandchildren and academic great-grandchildren. These results were represented through a genealogical tree in the form of graphs, characterizing a hierarchy that part of the parent and unfolds by its descendants. The academic descent of Suzana Pinheiro Machado Mueller equals 132 descendants. Of these, 41 are academic children, 82 are grandchildren and eight are great-grandchildren.
