On 15 April, the Office of International Relations at UFSC welcomed Professor Dr. Susana Bleil, from Université Le Havre Normandie, France, and Professor Dr. Daniel Ricardo Castelan, Vice Dean of the School of Socio-Economic Sciences (CSE) at UFSC.
Professor Bleil teaches Portuguese and Brazilian Civilization at Université Le Havre Normandie. She is also an associate researcher at the Centre d’Études des Mouvements Sociaux (CEMS-EHESS) and a member of the Groupe de Recherche Identité et Cultures (GRIC). Her research focuses on the history of inequalities in Brazil, identity, culture, political transitions, and the sociology of collective action, employing methods such as interviews and direct observation.
Her visit at UFSC included a lecture and the promotion of her recent book MST: A Construção do Comum, based on her doctoral dissertation. During the meeting at SINTER, opportunities for academic cooperation between UFSC and Université Le Havre Normandie were discussed, particularly the undergraduate student exchange program. This semester, UFSC has received five students from the French university – one in the Law program and four in International Relations. This is the first time student exchanges have taken place between the two institutions.
Including the students from Université Le Havre Normandie, SINTER has welcomed a total of 29 students from French partner universities in the first semester of 2025. Altogether, UFSC has 75 international students enrolled in the Incoming Exchange Program this semester, representing a variety of countries.
