Notas do episódio

Host: Lívia Lima Guest: Dr. Barbara Potthast (Professor emeritus of Iberian and Latin American History, University of Cologne / Mecila) In this episode of Diálogos Mecila, we delve into the evolving landscape of academic internationalization and the unique challenges it faces today. The vision of a truly global scientific community is increasingly tested by rising nationalism, geopolitical conflicts, and crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. We welcome Dr. Barbara Potthast, a Mecila PI, distinguished historian and former head of the Center of Latin American Studies Cologne, to reflect on these critical issues.
