Dear colleagues,

Only today, Geoffrey Pleyers, the ISA RC president, has been successful in convincing the ISA board that at least plenary session should be opened up to a wider audience. He really fought for this tirelessly, until finally today the decision was made to open up the session in tribute of Marielle Franco – see the invitation below. Please circulate this to those who are interested. And don’t forget to tell them that the time slot, Thursday, (25 February 2021 -  17:45 - 20:00) is Porto Alegre local time. When you open up the link, the time zone will be adapted to your local time zone.

All best wishes

Helma

ISA Forum Common Session: "A tribute to Marielle Franco"

Thursday, 25 February 2021 -  17:45 - 20:00

https://isaconf.confex.com/isaconf/forum2020/meetingapp.cgi/Session/15389

Dear colleagues,

 

Yesterday, the ISA accepted to open the Forum session in tribute to Marielle Franco. We will thus be able to livestream it on the ISA website and on our social media.We hope to reach out to a wide audience, beyond the Forum participants.

 

This session is co-organized by 8 RCs (05, 25, 29, 34, 47, 48, 53 & 56), ALAS and CLACSO.

After our three main panelists (Mônica Francisca, Lia de Rocha and Mariana Possas (RC29)), we would like to invite you as the president of a RC that co-host this session to take part in this session to join us and say a few words (2-3 minutes) to honor the memory of Marielle as a sociologist, a person and an activist.

Ana Rivoir (ALAS) and Breno Bringel (RC47) have already confirmed their intervention while RC29 and RC53 are already represented by a speaker and one of the session coordinator. It would be great if you or a delegate of your RC could join us.

Most of the session will be in Portuguese, but various short intervention will be in Spanish or English.

 

We also hope to count on you to help us diffusing this session as a part of your RC program and on your social media.

 

Lucia Rabelho & Geoffrey Pleyers
