This Symposium will explore the relationships between social media and politics in contemporary Brazil. The rise of social media altered the way information is produced, disseminated, and mobilized by political parties at a time of heightened public distrust. Join us for an opportunity to learn from experts on Brazilian media. Breakfast and lunch will be provided, but seating is limited. Please RSVP by April 3, 2026, at bit.ly/brazilsymposium.
