SEA 197-BRA Brazil: From Empire to Dictatorship to Democracy (Eduardo Magalhaes); ECC: Global Perspective, pending approval

Brazil is the only Latin American country to have been an empire (for 60 years!), a dictatorship (as recently as 1988) and a democracy (since 1988). During this travel course we will explore this history through museums, national landmarks, and meetings with current politicians. We will also visit with families in their homes, business leaders (in ethanol production and oil exploration among others), and students from the Federal University of Alagoas. While staying on the most beautiful beaches in the world, students will reflect on Brazilian culture and history in a journal and a paper.
