On Tuesday, October 30, the department hosted the second Inklings gathering of the semester. Dr. Eduardo Schmidt Passos, gave a talk on “Brazilian Presidential Election 2018: Is Brazilian Democracy under Threat?” The talk was followed by a discussion with the faculty and graduate students.
The department’s “Inklings” gatherings take their name from a small group of intellectuals (whose ranks included J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis) who met weekly at Oxford University in the early and middle decades of the 20th century to read aloud and discuss their works in progress.
