PhD-Project Workshop “Studying Political Actors and Institutions in Brazil: Methodological Approaches and Research Designs”
In collaboration with the Brazilian Political Science Association (ABCP) and the Brazilian Research and Studies Center, we are delighted to announce a joint online Workshop titled “Studying Political Actors and Institutions in Brazil: Methodological Approaches and Research Designs” scheduled for April 16 and 17 2024. The Workshop is designed to offer support to academics in the advanced stages of their doctoral studies.
Workshop Objectives:
The overarching goal of the Workshop is to bring together Ph.D. students for the purpose of discussing their research, sharing knowledge, and fostering integration within the scientific community. This platform will provide an opportunity to present and discuss ongoing dissertation projects, particularly focusing on conceptual and methodological perspectives. Additionally, we aim to facilitate informal networking among Ph.D. students engaged in research on Brazilian politics.
