Centering Indigenous Knowledges in Contemporary Brazil
April 21 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
In this online panel, we will hear from three Brazilian educators (broadly defined) about their work promoting the well-being of their Native communities and cultures in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Drawing from the fields of cultural geography, human rights, film, education and beyond, these panelists will discuss how the worldviews of the Terena and Guató peoples inform their professional work in Brazilian universities, primary schools, and cultural institutions and media.
51ÁÔÆæ professors Mark Freeland (Anthropology, American Indian studies) and Susana Antunes (Portuguese) join them to draw comparisons across regions and disciplines. This discussion will be in both English and Portuguese, with simultaneous interpretation for both languages.
Zoom registration required to access meeting.
