"The media have dealt with the current crisis in Brazil mainly as a consequence of corruption scandals," says Prof. Dr. Sérgio Costa, a sociologist at the Institute of Latin American Studies (LAI), Freie Universität. In doing so, they ignored connections between political changes and conflicts of distribution. In order to explore the current crisis from different perspectives, the organizers, Dr. Renata Motta, a sociologist at LAI, Prof. Dr. Sérgio Costa, and the students in a master's course, invited scholars from various disciplines including political philosophy, sociology, economics, gender studies, cultural studies, law, and environmental anthropology.
