ABSTRACT
The aim of this article is to present some reflections on dossier Education, Health and Childcare: knowledge, expertise and social practices. Its organization brings together articles that intend to debate public and/or private initiatives produced by intellectuals and/or institutions in the context of the institutionalization of scientific knowledge and care models related to public health, guardianship actions and the education of children. To this attempt, it is a collection of ten articles resulting from research with varied documentary repertoires and theoretical-methodological references that express possible trends and perspectives of analysis about the production of knowledge in the field of human sciences. In this way, the articles contribute to thoughts that are anchored on issues related to philanthropy; public health, interdiction and education policies; subjects related to school hygiene, schooling processes, welfare and education institutions, as well as enhancing analyses on the role of intellectuals and institutions in different spaces/times that take childhood as the mobilizing axis of reflections and research.
