In this episode, we talk about the importance of the Amazon rainforest, and the role that can be taken by civil societies/researchers or the government or policy students like us for the conservation of the Amazon with Dr. Maria Cecilia Oliveira.
Dr. Maria Cecilia Oliveira head of the transdisciplinary research group "Democratic Governance and Ecopolitical Transformations" (EcoPol) at IASS Potsdam. She is currently working with the EcoPol group on a transdisciplinary case study in the Amazon Basin. At the Willy Brandt School, she is an instructor for the course "Environmental Conflict & Conflict Resolution".
In 2012, the Willy Brandt School established a student blog, called “the bulletin”. Initially, the blog has been a purely student-run project opening up student experiences, may it be academic, semi-academic, or purely social, to the public. In 2016, we decided to expand the range of the blog. It now encompasses contributions written by lecturers, professors, alumni, professionals, and guests ranging from content-intensive to experience-based to purely entertaining articles. Nevertheless, the core of the Willy Brandt School, and therefore, the core of ”the bulletin” is our international, interdisciplinary and practice-oriented student body that is eager to share a multifaceted, diverse and differentiated picture of today’s world – from the perspective of “the global village” of Erfurt.
