Published at: April 4, 2026 Category: Oferta de disciplinasProfessors Meize Lucas and Ana Amélia Melo, permanent faculty members of our Program, will take part in important international academic events in May 2026, further strengthening the international presence of the historiographical research developed at the institution.
Professor Ana Amélia Melo will participate in the XLIV International Congress of the Latin American Studies Association (LASA), to be held from May 26 to 30, 2026, in Paris. During the event, she will serve as both author and panel chair in the session “Exilio y diásporas,” where she will present the paper entitled “Writers and Intellectuals in Networks: Latin America in the journal Leitura (1942–1949).” In addition, she will act as organizer of a roundtable focused on the challenges of teaching in authoritarian contexts and on building educational perspectives aimed at fostering a democratic political culture.
The LASA Congress is one of the most important international meetings in the field of Latin American studies, bringing together researchers from different countries and promoting academic exchange across a wide range of disciplines. The professor’s participation has been formally confirmed by the event organizers, who highlighted the importance of her presence for the success of the scientific activities.
Professor Meize Lucas, in turn, will participate in the 15th Annual Meeting and International Conference of the Associação de Investigadores da Imagem em Movimento (AIM), which will take place from May 13 to 15, 2026, at the Instituto Politécnico de Bragança, in Mirandela. On that occasion, she will present the paper entitled “Cinema and Censorship in Brazil: The Past with Eyes Wide Shut,” previously accepted by the conference organizers.
The participation of these faculty members in international events highlights the relevance and quality of the research carried out at UFC, while also contributing to the strengthening of academic networks and the expansion of scientific dialogue on a global scale.
