Brazil Unfiltered

Some of the strongest opposition to Jair Bolsonaro has come from students and educators in Brazil, so it’s no surprise that Bolsonaro has framed Brazil’s education system as a threat to the country. For this last episode of the first season of Brazil Unfiltered, James Green talks with Sidney Chalhoub, Professor of History and of African and African American Studies at Harvard University and a former professor at the State University of Campinas in Brazil. They discuss how Brazil’s education system operates, and how it’s suffered in the last few years. They also explore how Brazil’s universities might fight back against the administration’s attacks -- and what’s at stake if they don’t.
