Produced for the 50th anniversary of the Unimep Postgraduate Program in Education, celebrated in 2022, this article proposes to highlight the contributions of the GEP, Study and Research Group “Critical Theory and Education”, created at UFSCar, in 1991, and which also started to work at Unimep, highlighting: I – Research projects linked to the critical theory of Society; II – The scientific congresses held in Piracicaba under the orientation of critical theory; III – Critical theory in PPGE-Unimep dissertations and theses and other scientific productions. The article recalls the fouding activities of the Research Group, in São Carlos, when the sought to undertake readings and projects on the historical-philosophical importance of the Institute for Social Research, founded in 1923 in Frankfurt, and its main thinkers, notably Theodor W. Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Walter Benjamin and Hebert Marcuse, with the perspective of appropriating and updating its theoretical and methodological contributions, in order to reveal its training potential. The article mentions the expansion of the Research Group in other headquarters, with emphasis on Piracicaba, bringing the contemporary theoretical-critical thinking on themes of transversality of education with other áreas of knowledge, notably philosophy, aesthetics, technology, cultural policy, communication and ethics, in its inexhaustible overlaps in theses, articles and published books, congresses, reading meetings, in the midst of cultural meetings and a lot of dialogue. It highlights that the Freirian sense of education being contained in affection permeates experiences, the people, the places, of these 25 years of Critical Theory at PPGE/Unimep.
