Background/Context: Considered one of the most influential educators in Brazil’s history, Anísio Teixeira is one of the renowned Latin American students who came to Teachers College (TC). Teixeira was a prominent reformer and educator known for advocating free, public, and secular education accessible to all children. His work as an educator and policy maker is closely related to the idea that schools are “machines that generate democracy.” Purpose/Objective: The article discusses how Teixeira’s education at Teachers College and his experiences within the U.S. schooling system shaped his conceptions of education and influenced how he aimed to reform the Brazilian public school. Research Design: The study is a historical analysis based on archival research and the works published by Teixeira on education and democracy.

To understand how the policies adopted in different parts of Brazil affected learners and learning outcomes and have contributed to widening the digital divide in the country, the researcher conducted an exploratory study with different actors based on semi-structured interviews. The interviewees for this inquiry were a teacher from a public school in Rio de Janeiro, a policymaker working in the secretary of education of Manaus, and a policy analyst working for a non-governmental organization focused on public education. The interviews were conducted in 2021 and centered on each interviewee's perspectives according to their professional standpoint. Based on the questions presented to the interviewees, some topics emerged in the analysis and focused on how educational policies during the pandemic affected three specific groups: students, families, and teachers. The findings suggest that the lack of unifying guidelines from the Ministry of Education made states and municipalities ...

O artigo objetiva apresentar as linhas de política externa delineadas, para a África, nos anos 2003-2010. As relações do Brasil com o continente foram enfatizadas por diplomacias anteriores, contudo, não foram consideradas prioritárias para o Itamaraty, como durante a gestão de Lula e a chancelaria Celso Amorim. Serão apresentadas as principais iniciativas relacionadas ao continente, durante variados governos brasileiros, a fim de que se perceba sua importância na elaboração da política externa brasileira, nos oito anos em questão. Palavras-chave: Brasil, África, Política exterior, Governo Lula. A África ocupa um lugar primordial na história brasileira. Embora os laços históricos, culturais e sociais com o continente sejam fundamentais para que se entenda a formação do povo brasileiro, por muito, o mesmo foi relegado para segundo plano, no que se refere às estratégias da diplomacia para a inserção internacional do Brasil. Historicamente, o Ministério das Relações Exteriores orientou...

To highlight the significance of Freire’s pedagogy, this article draws from the work of decolonial thinkers in Latin American and Enrique Dussel’s philosophy in order to understand Freire’s pedagogy of liberation. Two concepts in Freire’s work, conscientização and praxis, are key to understanding how awakening the consciousness of teachers and learners can empower them in transforming an unjust world. For Freire, the collaboration between teachers and learners is essential to the self-transformation of leaners for their own liberation. This innovative and transformative pedagogy inspired literacy campaigns and social justice movements around the globe and constitutes Freire's legacy.
