Academy


	Academic institutions: the story of my life in the last 20 years (with some crazy gaps.) I attended high school at the Colégio Santo Inácio--Jesuits, of course. I graduated in 1984 - it sounds so long ago! - and I am still in touch with the Association of Ex-Alunos of CSI. In 1991 I received my Bachelor Degree from the Pontifícia Universidade Católica - PUC, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I am specially in debt with a remarkable scholar and teacher, Margarida de Souza Neves (Guida). She was my advisor for my thesis on History and Literature - the use of the concept of time in the chronicles of Machado de Assis. (Sorry, it is not on-line). In 1994 I attended a graduate course in the ISER - Religion Studies Institute entitled Theory and Praxis of Environment, organized by Samyra Crespo. Samyra has simply worked with every single environmental activist leader in Rio de Janeiro.
	In 1996 I began work on my Master of Science on Environmental Policy Studies at New Jersey Institute of Technology. I graduated in May 1998. My Master's advisor, Dr. John Opie, was co-founder of the American Society of Environmental History - ASEH. A wonderful scholar and also a good friend. After a long coast-to-coast trip, in 1998 I began my Ph.D. in History at the Stanford University, in California. My major field is Latin America. I am writing an environmental history of the Guanabara Bay, at Rio de Janeiro. My current advisor is prof. Zephyr Frank, a tireless friend and counselor for graduate students. He had to take over the Latin American field at the History Departmentadvisor here is Dr. John Wirth, a brazilianist, an environmental historian and an activist. A perfect combination. In 2002-2003, I was the Lieberman Fellow at the Stanford Humanities Center. I am also active at the Judicial Panel Pool and at the Brazilian Student Association. While I am in the writing stage of my dissertation, I also edit the Online Bibliography on Latin American Environmental History.
