SUMMARY:HGSA: The Crisis of Brazilian Democracy
DESCRIPTION:<p> </p><p style="margin-left:.5in;">On August 31, the Brazilian Senate voted to oust President Dilma Rousseff of the Workers’ Party. The impeachment process was controversial, and many consider it to have been a parliamentary coup d’Etat. The purpose of this panel is to analyze the historical and social causes of President Rousseff’s fall, as well as the prospects for the country, now ruled by a right wing government coalition not chosen in democratic elections.</p><p style="margin-left:.5in;">Panelists include <strong>Dr. Sidney Chalhoub</strong>, Professor of History at Harvard University and chair of the Latin American Studies Association investigation of the impeachment proceedings, and <strong>Dr. James Green</strong>, Professor of Modern Latin American History and Portuguese and Brazilian Studies at Brown University.</p><p><img height="7" src="file:///C:%5CUsers%5Clchrist%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_image001.png" width="725"> </p><p><em>This talk is sponsored by the History Graduate Student Association as part of an event series that brings historical perspective to discussions of current events. </em></p><p> </p><p> </p>
