From dictatorship to democracy: international symposium debates Brazilian history

The “3rd International Symposium Brazil: From Dictatorship to Democracy” will be held between August 9 and 11 in Rio de Janeiro. The event is a joint effort between Brown University’s Brazil Initiative, the Study Group for Social History and Dictatorships of PUC/RJ, and the Laboratory for Labor and Social Movement Studies and Laboratory for the Study of Institutions (LEI) of FGV’s School of Social Sciences (CPDOC).

This edition of the event will gather researchers focusing on new subjects and outlooks regarding the study of dictatorship in Brazil, particularly based on the work produced by multiple Commissions of Truth in recent years.

The schedule includes CPDOC professors and researchers, such as Verena Albert (“Files, education and places in the memory of dictatorship”), Angela Moreira (“Companies, memory and dictatorship”), Dulce Pandolfi (“Revisiting amnesty and re-democratization”), Paulo Fontes and Américo Freire (both in the panel “Biographies, paths and dictatorship”), as well as students from the History, Politics and Cultural Assets Graduate Program, such as Heliene Nagasava and Angélica Coutinho.

The full list of lectures and participants is available on the website (In portuguese).
