Synopsis

What was born as an attempt to bring together researchers from different areas, to mobilize members of SertãoCult's Editorial Board in the preparation of material that expressed the publisher's ability to produce works with technical quality and academic relevance, soon became a success in its first edition.

After the launch of the volume Diálogos sobre a Ditadura, which brought together some of the greatest researchers on the subject in Brazil, the Scientific Territory series reaches its second volume prepared from a partnership with professionals, mostly from the Network of Researchers on Medium Cities (ReCiMe) who participated in the Study Group - Theoretical and methodological approaches in the studies of medium and small cities, organized by the Study and Research Group in Urban and Regional Planning - GEPPUR and the Urban and Regional Studies Laboratory - LEURB/UVA in the year 2020. Here is the work “Trajectories of researchers and studies of medium-sized cities in perspective”.

It is gratifying to conclude yet another contribution to the scientific community, presenting the trajectories of some of the greatest references in Brazilian Urban Geography, who in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic became so physically distant, but never so close, united through technology, which allowed the exchange of experiences with colleagues from different regions of the country.
