WHEN: Thursday, October 27th

TIME: 12:00 - 1:30 pm PDT

WHERE: Hybrid (online and at SED C168, University of Victoria)

DETAILS: On October 30, 2022, Brazilians will head to the polls to decide the Presidential runoff. The electoral dispute between former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (2003-2010) and the current president Jair Bolsonaro has been marked by violence, fake news, and attacks on democratic institutions, including the electoral system itself. Our speakers will discuss the implications of this election on gender rights, the juridical system and how it will test Brazilian democracy.
