Brazilian Studies Lesson Plans 

 

The Digital Brazil Project is pleased to present open source lesson plans about Brazil for college-level courses. These lesson plans were designed by scholars of Brazilian Studies based in universities across the United States, all of whom participated in The Making of Modern Brazil, an NEH Institute hosted by the Behner Stiefel Center for Brazilian Studies in Summer 2022. These teaching modules were made possible through the generous support of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
