#UFMGSSBS2021 it could have been better only if it were presencial! It is such a pity that we weren't able to get to know UFMG's beautiful campus!

#UFMGSSBS2021 It was amazing to be able to participate to this experience and I would like to thank everyone who was involved in the organization, as well as the professors who gave excellent lectures

#UFMGSSBS2021 it was expecially interesting to learn about the main brazilian issues concerning foreign affairs and how the governement tackles (or not) each issue

[Adele Simoni @adele_simoni]

friday's class was the last at #UFMGSSBS2021 and it was about Brazilian Foreign Affairs! It was a pleasure to participate to such an interactive class, I really appreciated the effort prof. Lima made to interact with the students as much as possible

#UFMGSSBS2021 today's class with prof. Bruno Reis was about politics and it was very interesting to have him share his opinion on current issues concerning brazilian politics and president bolsonaro

#UFMGSSBS2021 these two different histories created different realities in the present, and it seems to me that the comparison doesn't really hold that much

#UFMGSSBS2021 the brazilian miscegenation policies represented an aberration for US governments, whose laws were aimed at separating citizens of different races in all aspects in life. In Brazil blacks and whites always shared the same spaces, although occuping different places

[Adele Simoni @adele_simoni]

#UFMGSSBS2021 still, I don't get why many scholars focus on comparing Brazil to the US on race issues. It seems to me that the history of the countries is at the opposite extremes: one created severe separation laws and the other stimulated miscegenation

[Adele Simoni @adele_simoni]

#UFMGSSBS2021 It is incredible how a country which has had such a deep history of slavery was able to talk about race just recently. The whitening policy carried out by the governement has had a huge impact on today's issues of racism in the country

#UFMGSSBS2021 yesterday's lecture on Race in Brazil was given by prof. Cristiano Rodrigues. It struck me how complicated and interconnected society, race, history and social gaps are in Brazil

[Adele Simoni @adele_simoni]

i am really looking forward to tomorrow's class on race issues! #UFMGSSBS2021

[Adele Simoni @adele_simoni]

today's lecture was about brazilian society and professor Rodrigues explained a bit about brazilian demography, urbanization and race #UFMGSSBS2021

[Adele Simoni @adele_simoni]

it is amazing to see how each of the 7 constitutions was a perfect product of its time, as well as noticing how each one was inspired by either the US or a European country #UFMGSSBS2021

[Adele Simoni @adele_simoni]

on monday professor Alvim gave a very insightful lecture on brazilian law and carefully explained the 7 constitutions adopted throughout the years #UFMGSSBS2021

[Adele Simoni @adele_simoni]

it was very interesting to see how deforestation and indicrimintory pesticide application are not only harming the environment but also brazil's economy and its development is obstacled #UFMGSSBS2021

[Adele Simoni @adele_simoni]

On friday's lecture on brazilian economy dr. Nasser explained in details the composition of the country's economy as one of the biggest from the BRIC developing countries #UFMGSSBS2021

[Adele Simoni @adele_simoni]

#UFMGSSBS2021 it was expecially interesting to find out that there can be earthquakes even at the center of the south american tectonic plate (there has been seismic activity in MG), although they are not caused by the friction between two different plates

[Adele Simoni @adele_simoni]

#UFMGSSBS2021 today there was a deeply interesting class about Brazilian Geography at @ufmgssbs . Brazil is one of the countries that has the largest biodiveristy on earth and it was fascinating to find out about it

[Adele Simoni @adele_simoni]

#UFMGSSBS2021 I found very interesting to know how brazilian genres were not studied in university until a few years ago. Music courses used to focus only on classical european music. Once more it is clear how brazilian music was not properly valued until very recently

[Adele Simoni @adele_simoni]

#UFMGSSBS2021 in today's class professor Feichas explained a bit about the different brazilian musical genres and how they were born
