A timely symposium on Brazil to promote understanding of this nation’s vibrant culture and unique history: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/brazil-order-and-progress-an-introduction Professor Tim Connell opens the symposium with a brief history of the South American gentle giant, Brazil. As well as grounding our understanding of this country, Professor Connell also speaks to the culture and personality of its people. The symposium will look at the country's rapidly developing economy and place in the world in the context of its history, geography and politics. Current events and issues will be considered at a time when attention has been focused on the country through the World Cup and the Olympics.
