Building bridges

Department of World Languages and Literatures Faculty Camila Dilli, who is the Portuguese instructor at SFU, occupies a Brazilian Reader position at SFU through the Guimar茫es Rosa Readership Program. The program is a long-stablished cultural diplomacy action from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Brazil aiming to promote Brazilian culture and language abroad, as well as to build bridges between local academic communities and Brazil. Developed as part of the above program, Fittipaldi鈥檚 presentation at SFU resulted from a collaboration between the Guimar茫es Rosa Readership Program (Brazil) and the Department of World Languages and Literatures with the School of Resource and Environmental Management of the Faculty of Environment. The guest-lecture was hosted in the 鈥楪lobal Sustainability Governance and Action鈥� course as well as in the 鈥楨cological Economics鈥� graduate course, both taught by Professor Andr茅s Cisneros-Montemayor (OceanNexus Deputy Director).  

Visual Storytelling and Environmental Awareness

Moved by the question How is visual storytelling, in partnership with science, being used to engage the public on environmental issues?, Felipe Fittipaldi's lecture Visual Storytelling and Environmental Awareness took participants on a journey exploring three of his conservation-focused visual projects: Eutasy (funded by National Geographic), on coastal erosion and rising sea levels, Reforestation - Rain Forest (funded by The Nature Conservancy) on reforestation,  and Climate Change Lawsuit (for The New York Times Magazine), portraying an unprecedented lawsuit in which a Lantin American peasant affected by a melting glacier sued a major European oil company. With different approaches to visual storytelling, these photo projects not only highlight impacts of climate change and environmental exploitation but also showcase positive ways to fight back.
