Academic Advisor and Sponsor

Professor James Green, author of We Cannot Remain Silent: Opposition to the Brazilian Military Dictatorship in the United States (2010) and Beyond Carnaval: Male Homosexuality in Twentieth-Century Brazil (1999), continues to advise and mentor the ongoing growth of this site. Professor Green is currently working to produce an updated edition of Professor Emeritus Thomas Skidmore’s Brazil: Five Centuries of Change as well as several other books. He also is the Carlos Manuel de Céspedes Professor of Latin American History at Brown University where he teaches classes on Brazil and Latin America to undergraduates and graduate students.

Library Support and Web Design

Patricia Figueroa’s expertise in Latin American History and knowledge of library resources continue to be immensely helpful to site contributors researching topics in Brazil.

Sarah Bordac and Ben Tyler have advised the website task force from the beginning on subjects as diverse as research strategy to copyright and implementation of concepts on the site.

Mark Baumer dedicated time and energy towards building the web template, assisting with technical support, and answering endless questions about functions of the site.
