Brazilian Studies Program
Drawing on a long history of Brazilianist scholarship at the Indiana University, the Brazilian Studies Program engages graduate and undergraduate students and promotes interdisciplinary research and scholarly exchange among faculty. Working closely with faculty across the Indiana University system, a CLACS faculty working group created the framework for an active and engaging Brazilian Studies program. Brazilian Studies has strong roots at IU and the scholarship and research on Brazil continues to grow as we work to organize and expand this area as a formal program. Working closely with the Minority Languages and Cultures Program (MLCP), Anthropological Center for Training and Research on Global Environmental Change (ACT), and the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, Brazilianists are making a strong contribution to bridging the disciplinary divide between the social sciences and the humanities.
