 The many incarnations of a curious researcherClaudio de Moura Castro International Journal of Educational Development, 2023, vol. 103, issue C Abstract: The author describes his early interests, meandering from areas such as woodworking, electronics, economics, and education. Not surprisingly, his career also takes many kinks and detours. From a researcher in a government think tank he moves to coordinate a joint research in ten Latin American countries. He then becomes the head of the Brazilian agency in charge of masters and doctoral programs (and scholarships). From there, he leads the social policy unit of the Planning Ministry. At the ILO, he directs a group devoted to vocational training policies. Then comes the World Bank and the Interamerican Development Bank (where he became Chief Educational Advisor). Returning to Brazil, he designs a new college and then joins another large proprietary institution. Next project is to rescue a failing medical school. In this zigzagging trek, with successes and failures, there are some constants: curiosity, research and collisions with the bureaucracy.
