SILVA, Ivanilson Bezerra da  y  CARMO, Jeferson Carriello do. The use of the prosopographic method in the history of education from the magazine ‘A Maçonaria in the State of São Paulo’ (1912-1932). Acta Educ. [online]. 2022, vol.44, e54451.  Epub 01-Feb-2022. ISSN 2178-5201.  https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v44i1.54451.

The text aims to show how we can use the prosopographic method in the field of the history of education. We organized as follows: the first item addresses the use of the prosopographic method in relation to the studies of elites. In this topic, we also emphasize the possibility of prosopography for the analysis of subordinate classes. The second, presents a brief historiographical balance about the use of the prosopographic method in the field of the history of education and, finally, we present an example of the use of the method applied to the history of education in which we analyzed, from the magazine ‘A Maçonaria no Estado de São Paulo’, the biographical profile of 20 Freemasons who carried out educational activities in the public and private spheres. We also highlighted some educational institutions organized and run by these educators.

Palabras clave : prosopography; freemasons; elites; subordinate classes; educators.
