Just a few days after the second round of Brazil's presidential elections, Professor Graziella Moraes Silva will address the results, the choices made by Brazilian voters, and what they reveal about the country's political and social dynamics. She will consider the factors shaping the vote and reflect on the implications of the elections for Brazil, Latin America, and the wider world. This Lunch Briefing will provide an opportunity to share first reactions, exchange perspectives, and consider what comes next.

Graziella Moraes Silva joined the Anthropology and Sociology Department at the Graduate Institute in 2016. Between 2011 and 2016 she was at the Department of Sociology of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Brazil and is still affiliated to the Interdisciplinary Network for the Study of Inequality (NIED) at the same university. Her current research focuses on comparative race relations and elite’s perceptions of poverty and inequality. She is the PI in the FNS-funded project Elites in Unequal Democracies and, since 2021, Co-Director of the Albert Hirschman Centre on Democracy.

This event will be moderated by Christine Lutringer, Senior Lecturer and Executive Director of the Albert Hirschman Centre on Democracy, Geneva Graduate Institute.

Organised in collaboration with the Albert Hirschman Centre on Democracy.
