Through collaborative research, education, and outreach programs developed in partnership with local, national, and international institutions, the Brazil Initiative promotes a nuanced understanding of Brazil across all academic fields. It advances the interdisciplinary study of Brazilian cultural production and the Portuguese language as essential to recognizing Brazil’s global influence. Upholding democratic principles, the Initiative contributes to social, cultural, and ecological well-being in Brazil and among Brazilian communities in the United States, furthering the University of Miami’s mission of fostering knowledge, justice, and engagement across the Americas.
