Dear friends of the Humanities, Welcome to a new week Upcoming Events: Public Discussion by Wilder Robles (Rural Development, Brandon University) : The Politics of Agricultural Cooperativism in Brazil: A Case Study of the Landless Rural Worker Movement (MST) The Power & Resistance in Latin America Research Cluster Friday, January 26th, from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM in room 409 Tier Join us on Zoom Using the Embedded Link <https://umanitoba.zoom.us/j/61315120331?pwd=ZTZXU1FNTFRkWHBOVHorakVtcWlZUT09> This presentation examines peasant-led agricultural cooperative formation in Brazil from a political economy perspective. It takes as a point of reference the Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra, or Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST). The paper identifies the MST’s main periods of cooperative formation within their particular contexts. Each of these periods oriented and, eventually, reoriented the MST’s overall cooperative efforts. Despite these achievements, the long-term sustainability of this cooperative project depends significantly on the MST’s capacity to overcome structural barriers and, most importantly, obtain long-term support from state and non-state actors. Recurring Events: The Writing Room hosted by the Writing Towards a Just World Research Cluster Tuesdays until the end of April from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM Room 206 St. John’s College Please feel welcome to join in and invite Colleagues, Students, Faculty etc. to this writing-focused space scheduled every Tuesday until the end of April.

In this panel, experts from sex worker activist groups, and from frontline agencies dedicated to sex worker supports, discuss what they’ve done on these points. They will discuss building on this important work and what can we do to ensure our social justice research actually contributes to socially just ends.
