Brazil's experience in fighting corruption over the past generation offers a case study of tremendous value to anticorruption reformers the world over. At different moments, the country has followed distinct strategies, including an incrementalist approach to reform during the decades of the 1990s and 2000s, and a big-push court-led campaign against corruption in the 2010s.

La charla se enfocará en iluminar los lazos estéticos y la red de vínculos y solidaridades que un puñado de escritoras centroamericanas establecieron entre ellas durante las décadas de 1940 y 1950, haciendo centro en la trayectoria errante de la poeta costarricense Eunice Odio.
