Andre Pagliarini is a Visiting Assistant Professor of modern Latin American history at Brown University, where he completed his PhD in May 2018. In the spring, he will be teaching at Salve Regina University in Newport, RI in addition to teaching the history of Brazil at Brown. He is the project coordinator for Opening the Archives, an ambitious digital humanities initiative to digitize and index thousands of U.S. government records related to Brazil from the 1960s through the 1980s. He has also served as a lead researcher for the Liberated Africans Project, an undertaking sponsored by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation that brings together data on over 200,000 Africans rescued from the illicit transatlantic slave trade between 1808 and 1868. His first scholarly article, entitled “‘De onde? Para onde?’ New Social Movements and the Debate over Brazil’s ‘Civil’-Military Dictatorship,” was published in Latin American Research Review in 2017. He is currently preparing a book manuscript on the history of nationalism in 20th century Brazil.
