In this article, we rely on the IR academic production at the graduate level in Brazil, aiming to identify the most prevalent issues in theses and dissertations in the field from 1987 to 2018. In order to do that, we used data from the "Caderno de Indicadores CAPES"(1998-2012), which included information on the graduate programs, and combined it with data from "Dados Abertos Capes" (1987-2019). We obtained 2417 theses and dissertations in the selected time framing related to graduate programs in IR and correlated areas. We employed a Structural Topic Model to analyze the data. Analyzing the graduate production allowed us to partially map a thematic profile of the Brazilian IR scholarship, considering that the consolidation of this academic field relates to the qualified knowledge produced inside these graduate programs.
