Prof. Katiane Silva and Prof. Monique Medeiros from the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) have won Fulbright awards to come to the University of Georgia as visiting researchers. Both Katiane and Monique are affiliated with UFPA’s graduate program in Amazonian Agricultures (PPGAA). They will be in residence at UGA in Spring 2025 to take part in collaborative research and teaching activities under the Brazil Natural Resource Governance Initiative (BNRGI).
These awards continue the long-term cooperation between UGA and UFPA under BNRGI, a student and researcher collaborative dedicated to equitable environmental governance in Brazil. Katiane’s research centers on engaged anthropology with Amazonian Indigenous peoples, and Monique’s research centers on biodiversity, rural development, and social innovation in agrarian and Afro-descendant (quilombola) Amazonian communities.
Katiane will be hosted by Prof. Don Nelson in the UGA Department of Anthropology, and Monique will be hosted by Prof. Gregory Thaler in the UGA Department of International Affairs.
