Interactions with studetns in Brazil University


 It was nice to interact with young students doing research in History. I found two other interesting  things. One,  there is a group of Historians in the Fezando that works on gender and all of them get together.There was a lot of discussion as to what they have done with regards to gender history and people were informing the group about activities like organising a Conference, bringing out a Journal , bring people together for a meeting and many other things. In the evening there was a programme where nearly thirty scholars, students sat on stage and showed their books which were released since the last Fezando and then spoke a little about what the books were about and how did they go about researching and writing it.
