DESCRIPTION:RSVP here.\n\nLivestream link here.\n\n \n\nThe Reception of Du
  Bois in Brazilian Social Thought\n\nThis presentation aims to present the
  context and some of the impasses surrounding the reception of Du Bois in 
 Brazilian social thought\, focusing on four aspects: a) the context of aff
 irmative action and quota policies in Brazilian universities and the emerg
 ence of new knowledge policies\; b) the recent canonization of the author 
 as a founding classic of modern sociology\; c) the dialogue between Brazil
 ian Black movements and Du Bois's thought\; d) the conflicts surrounding t
 he use of the notion of race in scientific analysis as well as in the impl
 ementation of public policies. It also aims to present the achievements of
  the Du Bois Project organized by the Afro-CEBRAP Nucleus\, whose objectiv
 e is to strengthen academic research\, formative dialogue\, and the recept
 ion of W.E.B. Du Bois's work in Brazil. The absence of a profound debate o
 n his work has been a visible gap in the field of human sciences\, particu
 larly for classical sociological and anthropological theory\, as well as i
 n Brazilian intellectual and political debate. Through courses\, book edit
 ing\, thematic dossiers in specialized journals\, technical reviews\, and 
 translations of the works of the African-American sociologist\, this proje
 ct aims to contribute to the scientific dissemination of his work in Portu
 guese. The project closely follows the contemporary re-evaluation of Du Bo
 is as one of the founding classics of sociology and a key reference in the
  field of studies on race and racism in the formation of the modern world.
  In this sense\, the objective is to expand the spaces for discussion of h
 is work in universities and civil society\, fostering new readings and the
 oretical and empirical investigations\, but also making it accessible to h
 igh school teachers\, students\, activists\, researchers\, and people inte
 rested in a qualified\, democratic\, and pluralistic public sphere.\n\n \n
