- Education
João Roberto Martins Filho is professor emeritus of Political Science at the Federal University of São Carlos with a doctorate in Social Science from the State University of Campinas. He is the author of many classical works, including an English translation of "The Student movement and the military dictatorship" (1987), "The Palace and the Barracks"(1995; 2nd edition, 2019), "The Brazilian Navy in the Age of Battleships - 1895-1910" (2010) and "State Secrets: the British Government and Torture in Brazil" (2018; 2nd edition 2020). He was the president of the Brazilian Defense Studies Association from 2006 to 2008 and has had postdoctoral fellowships at UCLA (University of California Los Angeles) and the Centre for Brazilian Studies at the University of Oxford, among many other places. He has also held the Rio Branco chair of International Relations at King's College, London, and twice the Rui Barbosa chair in Brazilian Studies at the University of Leiden, in the Netherlands. Brazil is going through challenging times.
There’s never been a more important moment to understand Brazil’s politics, society, and culture. To go beyond the headlines, and to ask questions that aren’t easy to answer. 'Brazil Unfiltered,' does just that. This podcast is hosted by James N. Green, Professor of Brazilian History and Culture at Brown University and the National Co-Coordinator of the U.S. Network for Democracy in Brazil.
Brazil Unfiltered is part of the Democracy Observatory, supported by the Washington Brazil Office. It is edited and produced by Camilo Rocha.
