BRASA is an international, interdisciplinary group of scholars who support and promote Brazilian studies in all fields, especially in the humanities and social sciences. BRASA is dedicated to the promotion of Brazilian studies around the world in general, and in the United States in particular.

Call for Proposals to Host the BRASA Secretariat The Executive Committee of the Brazilian Studies Association (BRASA) is issuing a call for the submission of proposals by universities based in the United States to host the BRASA Secretariat for a six-year period from July 1, 2026 until June 30, 2032. The six-year term corresponds to three election cycles for Officers and Executive Committee. The new Secretariat will assume leadership following the XVIII BRASA Congress at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), leaving plenty of time (approximately 20 months) to prepare for the following congress in Spring 2028. The current Secretariat, based at Tulane University, will assist with the transition. Proposals should be submitted by December 15, 2024 for consideration by the Executive Committee. For further information or questions please contact Christopher Dunn, Executive Director, BRASA, cjdunn@tulane.edu, to whom you may also send a proposal.
