This presentation discusses the 2013 demonstrations in Brazil through the lenses of contemporary democratic theory and of current debates within social movements’ literature. Drawing from 50 semi-structured interviews with participants of that political process and from Facebook interactions, Prof. Mendonça discusses identity-building and repertoires of contention in these multitudinary protests, arguing that their novelty is related to their capacity to be meaningful to very different individuals for diverse reasons.

We’re Turning 100!
To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”
Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
