Abstract

This paper analyzes the role of researchers from the social sciences and humanities as interlocutors of issues that are publicly problematized so as to enter the legislative agenda of governments. The theoretical framework is based on three axes: the question of politicized and mobile social science, the public communication of science and the public problems approach. A case study was carried out: the activity of the National Campaign for the Right to Legal, Safe and Free Abortion in Argentina and the parliamentary treatment of the draft Law of Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy in the Chamber of Deputies. The parliamentary debate was developed in 15 public debate sessions. We investigated  the arguments in favor of the project. Specifically, the focus is placed on presentations made from the social sciences and humanities. Three questions guided our research: what role did academics from the social sciences and humanities play in the debate? How many of them also made, during the debate period, some outreach activity besides their participation in the plenary? and, those who carried out dissemination efforts, did they have the support of an intermediary organization?
