As Brazil heads toward the 2026 general elections, we are bringing together leading scholars for a series of three timely conversations about the country’s political landscape, electoral dynamics, and democratic future. Join DTD Lab faculty co-lead David Nemer, who will moderate these virtual roundtables at key moments in the electoral process: just before the first round, ahead of the second round, and immediately following the election.
The second conversation in the series will examine what the first round revealed about Brazil’s political landscape. Letícia Cesarino (UFSC) and James N. Green (Brown University) will analyze the congressional results and what they tell us about the forces shaping the runoff. They will also discuss what to expect from the second round and what the outcome could mean for Brazil’s democracy and its increasingly tense relationship with the United States.
The session will be recorded for those who cannot attend live – make sure to register to receive notification when the video is available to view.
