Columbia's Center for Brazilian Studies receives a major grant from Jorge
Paulo Lemann
Jorge Paulo Lemann, a noted Brazilian entrepreneur, has donated $500,000 to
Columbia's Center for Brazilian Studies. This grant, the largest single gift
ever received by the Center, will be disbursed over a five-year time-frame
and will be instrumental in expanding the Center's core activities. These
include many initiatives by the Center to strengthen the ties between Brazil
and Columbia such as the Ruth Cardoso Visiting Professorship and Columbia
faculty collaborative research with Brazilian counterparts. In addition, the
Lemann gift will help the Center to develop new graduate and undergraduate
courses on Brazilian topics, often in collaboration with Brazilian
educational institutions. The Center will be able to scale up its already
successful speaker programs which bring many Brazilian leaders to the
Columbia campus each year plus provide support to organize more conferences
and meetings on research issues of great importance to Brazil in
collaboration with Brazilian counterparts. The grant will permit the
development of closer institutional ties with Brazilian universities and
research organizations as well as closer interaction with the Brazilian
studies centers at Harvard and the University of Illinois which have also
benefited in the past from the generosity of Jorge Paulo Lemann.
Jorge Paulo Lemann was born in Brazil and received his bachelor's degree
from Harvard University in 1961, and later his MBA from Harvard. In 1971,
Lemann and three partners founded the Brazilian investment banking firm
Banco Garantia, which Lemann helped build into one of Brazil's most
prestigious and innovative investment banks.
Lemann and his partners later purchased control of a Brazilian brewery that
eventually became AmBev. In 2004, AmBev merged with Interbrew of Belgium.
The new company, InBev, is now one of the world's largest beverage
producers. In November 2008, shareholders of Anheuser-Busch, the makers of
Budweiser and many other beverages, approved a $52 billion sale to InBev,
which created the world's largest brewer. Since then, Lemann has launched
other efforts to expand his investments into food services and other
productive areas of the Brazilian and global economies. Lemann and his
partners are among Brazil's most active philanthropists with a decades-long
record of grants intended to improve education in Brazil and to form the
next generation of Brazilian leaders.
The Center for Brazilian Studies, housed within the Institute of Latin
American Studies (ILAS), serves as a key focal point for students and
faculty with an interest in Brazil. Established in 2001 by Columbia
professors Albert Fishlow and Alfred Stepan, the Center offers scholars a
place to pursue their research on Brazil, and provides a regular forum for
lectures and conferences by visiting Brazilian government officials,
business leaders, politicians, and representatives of civil society.
ILAS is one of the nation's foremost centers in the field. The Institute's
primary mission is to bring together and provide resources for Columbia
faculty, students and visiting scholars, recognizing the diversity of their
interests and approaches, while strengthening their links with Latin America
and with communities of Latin American origin in the United States. Columbia
University has established its first interdisciplinary post-graduate program
in Latin American and Caribbean studies, offered under the auspices of the
ILAS.

Under President Evo Morales' government, Bolivia has transformed

western hemisphere. The aim of this Conversatorio is to explore how this was
accomplished, without ignoring some of the obstacles that continue to
undermine the spread of civic democracy in Bolivia.

CALLS FOR PAPERS:
Stony Brook University's Latin American & Caribbean Studies Center
10th Annual Graduate Conference
April 8, 2011 at Stony Brook Manhattan Campus
(DEADLINE: MARCH 1, 2011)
Call for Papers:
Changing Landscapes: The Intersections of Culture, Politics, and Environment
in Latin America.
The Latin American and Caribbean Studies Center at SUNY Stony Brook invites
presentation proposals for its annual graduate student conference to be held
on April 8, 2011 at our Manhattan Campus (387 Park Avenue South).
Using the theme, "Changing Landscapes: The Intersections of Culture,
Politics, and Environment in Latin America", the conference seeks to open
interdisciplinary discussions regarding environmental problems caused by
ecological imbalance and natural disasters, economic and political
cataclysms, and the resulting kafkian metamorphosis in the sphere of the
imaginary. Since the 19th century nature has been understood as a static
place meant to be transformed by the "civilizing action" of humans and this
clear-cut divide between human and nature was mirrored in the work of
scholars. This conference aims to explore the strengths and limits of
traditional views while also foregrounding alternative interpretations.
· How have Latin American social and political institutions responded to
ecological and geographic change in both moments of rupture and over the
longue durée and how does geographical and ecological change play out along
racial, political, and economic boundaries?
· What new and old moral geographies of space emerge resulting from the
sweeping regional changes?
· How have efforts to adapt and alter the region's climate and landscape led
to unintended consequences and legacies?
· What roles have institutions of learning, science, and technology played
in ecological change?
· How, and to what extent have changing landscapes been represented,
contested, and explored by artists, writers, intellectuals, filmmakers, and
performers?
· How have art and culture shaped and responded to changes in landscapes?
By stimulating cross-disciplinary discussions, the conference invites
graduate students to examine and transcend the boundaries of their own
academic fields. The multi-disciplinary nature of this conference also
provides an opportunity for graduate students to interact with other
scholars outside their traditional fields of study and academic specialties.
Presentation proposals should be 200 to 300 words in length, in either
Spanish or English, and should include a cover page with name, academic
affiliation and contact information. Panel proposals and alternative,
non-paper presentations will also be given consideration.
Please submit proposals electronically to lacconfestony@hotmail.com
The conference directors: Carlos Gómez & Anna Shilova

The UF Libraries Latin American Collection
The UF Libraries' Latin American Collection contains one of the finest
collections of Latin American materials in the U.S. It consists of over
500,000 volumes, some 50,000 reels of microfilm (many unique and very
scarce), renowned newspaper and government-document holdings, and a growing
access to computer-based electronic information resources.
Areas of collection focus include all disciplines, although literature, the
humanities and the social sciences are best represented. All regions of
Latin America are also well represented, with the Caribbean,
Circum-Caribbean and Brazil having the deepest holdings, while the Andean
and Southern Cone regions are developing strengths. Particularly noteworthy
are the Collection's holdings on religion in the Americas, including
Santeria, Rastafarianism and the Ralph Della Cava Collection on Padre Cícero
and Brazilian popular religion. Materials on women's issues are strong.
Other units of the UF Libraries also contain important resources and
researchers are encouraged to utilize them as well. The UF Map Library
houses approximately 500,000 maps and atlases, some 50,000 of which deal
with Latin American topics. The Science Library has important book and
journal holdings on agriculture, tropical conservation, and development. The
Special Collections Department has manuscript holdings such as the
Rochambeau, Jeremie and the Braga Brothers Sugar Company papers, and the
newly acquired Ramón Figueroa Collection of Mexican and Cuban film posters.
Information on the UF Latin American Collection is available at:
http://www.uflib.ufl.edu/lac. You can also e-mail Richard Phillips, Director
of the Latin American Collection, for further information.
