Sociologický ústav AV ČR, v.v.i., a katedra sociologie Institutu sociologických studií FSV UK si Vás dovolují pozvat na jarní cyklus Čtvrtečních sociologických seminářů.

The lecture will focus on the main ideas of Prof. Alessandro Pinzani's new book "Money, Autonomy and Citizenship" (Springer 2018) which he wrote together with a Brazilian sociologist Prof. Walquiria Leao Rego. The book analyzes the impacts of the largest antipoverty social program in the world on peoples’ lives: the Brazilian Bolsa Família Program. Created by the government of former Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, this program of civic inclusion has been the largest conditional cash transfer program in the world during that time period, serving more than 50 million Brazilians who had a monthly per capita income of less than USD 50. The program is regarded as one of the key factors behind the significant poverty reduction in Brazil experienced during the first decade of the 21st century.

Alessandro Pinzani is Professor at the Federal University of Santa Catarina in Brazil (since 2004). This semester, he is a Guest Professor at the Centre of Global Studies in Prague. He earned his Ph.D. at the Universität Tübingen in Germany. He was Visiting Scholar at Columbia University in New York, at the Humboldt-Universität in Berlin, at the PUC-RS in Porto Alegre in Brazil, and at the Ruhr-University of Bochum, for example. He focuses on autonomy of individuals, poverty and social programs in Brazil and Latin America.

The seminar is organized within the Research Program "Global Conflicts and Local Interactions" Strategy AV21.                                                                                                          

Seminar will be held in English. No registration is needed.
