International Cooperation
ARGENTINA
Universidad Nacional de Jujuy (UNJu)
In 2014, CAPES and the Argentinian Department for University Policies approved the PPGH’s application for financing a cooperation project with the UNJu as part of the Program of Associated Centers for Strengthening Brazil-Argentina Postgraduation (Programa Centros Associados para o Fortalecimento da Pós-Graduação Brasil-Argentina - CAFP-BA). Professors Cristiano Alencar Arrais and Marlon Salomon coordinate the Project which will be implemented over a period of four years. It involves exchanges of professors and lecturers, holding joint seminars, undertaking joint research activities and the PPGH will also host visiting doctoral and post-doctoral students for study periods. The project is based on a multidisciplinary approach and the comparative dimension of social studies. It is also intended to collaborate with the Argentinean institution to strengthen the latter’s post-graduation activities.
FRANCE
École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS)
In 2013, the PPGH renewed its cooperation agreement with the EHESS. The first agreement was signed in 2008. Professor Marlon Salomon has been responsible for negotiating and maintaining these agreements. The terms of the agreement provide for facilitating the mobility of staff and students between the two institutions, developing joint projects, and publishing the results of such projects. French professors have regularly come to Goiania to give lectures, hold conferences, and offer workshops. PPGH doctoral students have undertaken study periods in Paris on PDSE-CAPES scholarships In turn PPGH academic staff have participated in activities in Paris and some have spent post-doctorate study periods at the EHESS.
Université de Picardie – Jules Verne (UPJV)
The aim of the cooperation agreement with the UPJV is to foster the mobility of staff and students between the two institutions and the development of joint projects and publications. Professor François Delaport came to Goiania to give conferences and offer workshops and on various occasions Professor Marlon Salomon has been in Amiens as a visiting Professor. In 2009, the agreement was adjusted to include the possibility of a co-tutored doctorate and in the same year a doctoral student obtained a double qualification under the aegis of the same agreement.
GERMANY
Katholische Universität Eichstätt – Ingolstadt (KUE)
“Human sciences and intercultural communication: interdisciplinarity, comparison and comprehension” (Ciências humanas e comunicação intercultural: interdisciplinaridade, comparação e compreensão)” is the title of a Project which the PPGH has been unfolding together with the KUE – Ingolstadt within the sphere of the UNIBRAL (CAPES-DAAD) Program. The Program aims to promote exchanges of students and teachers between the two institutions. German lecturers and professors have given conferences, and lectures and offered workshops in the PPGH at various times. Professor Luiz Sérgio Duarte e Silva has been to Ingolstadt on more than one occasion, participating in joint seminars and giving lectures under the aegis of this project.
MEXICO
Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM)
The PPGH has two specific agreements with the UNAM. In addition to research that involves them both, there is an endeavor to boost exchanges of teachers and students between the two institutions. Graduates taking Ph.Ds have been in Brazil for study periods as part of their doctoral course and Brazilians have been to Mexico for sandwich courses in the same vein. The circulation of academic staff in the institution has been regular and intense.
The first agreement refers to the “Programa de Apoyo a Proyectos de Investigación e Innovación Tecnológica” (PAPIIT) (Program of Support for Research Projects and Technical Innovation) and to the Project “Nueva España: puerta americana al pacífico asiático (siglos XVI-XVIII)” (New Spain: American port to the Asian Pacific – 16th to 18th centuries). It concerns New Spain’s participation in the Pacific during the colonial period and is attached to the Instituto de Investigações Históricas (Historical Research Institute). Professors Carmen Yuste and Guadalupe Pinzón are the project coordinators on the Mexican side. At the PPGH, the person responsible for the project is Professor Alberto Baena Zapatero and in 2015 UNAM invited him to be a visiting professor.
The second agreement currently in force is with “Centro de Investigaciones sobre América Latina y el Caribe” (CIALC) (Center for Research on Latin America and the Caribbean) and the “Programa de Posgrado em Estudios Latinoamericanos Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales” (Postgraduate Program in Latin American Studies, Humanities and Social Sciences). Invitations for the publication of joint and/or individual works produced by Brazilian and Mexican teams have been issued by both sides and the proposals have included the translations of the respective works from one language to another. Professor Eugênio Rezende de Carvalho translated the previously unpublished book of Professor Cerrutti-Guldberg, Pensando após 200 anos (Thinking 200 years later), published in 2012 in Goiania. In 2013, in Mexico CIALC/UNAM published the Spanish language version of Eugênio Rezende de Carvalho’s book “América para a Humanidade: o pensamento americanista de José Martí” (America for Humanity: the Americanist thinking of Jose Marti). The translation was carried out with the support of the PPGH.
MOZAMBIQUE
Universidade Pedagógica de Moçambique (UP)
The Federal University of Goias has a traditional cooperation agreement with the UP whereby it supports the Mozambican university in the sphere of its qualification activities and by transferring technology and knowledge. At the beginning of 2015, Professor Marlon Salomon went to Maputo for the purpose of drawing the UP’s Faculty of Social Sciences and the PPGH closer together. The result was an institutional cooperation agreement whereby the PPGH committed itself to participate in the elaboration of a PhD in History to be administered by the UP. The work involved was carried out in the course of 2015. In addition to the mobility of academic staff and students, the agreement foresees bibliographic exchanges and the transferal of bibliographic material produced by the UFG to the UP
PERU
Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP)
The PPGH signed an agreement with this Peruvian University in 2015, specifically with Postgraduate Program in Andean Studies, the only one of its kind in Latin America. In addition to fostering integration and exchanges, it aims to boost joint research projects involving researchers from the two institutions. At the beginning of March 2015 Peruvian historian Scarlett Rebeca O’Phelan Godoy came to Goiania to give the inaugural address for the PPGH academic year and she also gave a course for PPGH students. In 2016 a member of the PPGH teaching had a stay in Lima. In addition to the circulation of Academic staff it is intended to strengthen the exchanges of students between the two programs.
PORTUGAL
CHAM – Universidade Nova de Lisboa.
The PPGH has a long history of relations with the Center “History of this side of the sea and the other” (Centro de História d’Aquém e d’Além Mar)”. At the end of 2014, a cooperation agreement between the CHAM and the PPGH was formalized on the occasion of the visit to the UFG of the Center’s director Professor João Paulo Oliveira e Costa. The terms of the agreement provide for the mobility of staff and students between the two institutions and participation in joint research activities. The results of the research activities will be presented at events and in publication produced jointly by the CHAM and the PPGH. Another point of interest is that PPGH staff member Professor Alberto Baena Zapatero is an associate researcher at the CHAM.
Universidade de Lisboa
Relations between the Federal University of Goias’s Graduate-Postgraduate Program in History and the University of Lisbon’s Faculty of Language and Literature date back to 2006 when the Luso-Brazilian Medieval Studies Group was set up. The group is made up of Brazilian University researchers attached to the Federal Universities of Goias, Rio de Janeiro, and Rio Grande do Sul, the Fluminense Federal University, the University of Brasília and the São Paulo State University (Franca campus). Senior professor Dulce O. Amarante dos Santos participates in the group which meets annually either in Portugal or in Brazil. The results of those meetings are published in the form of an anthology. For many years now, the University of Lisbon has been hosting doctoral students with sandwich course scholarships granted by the CAPES and professors from the Portuguese university have been giving courses in the PPGH. Given that background of relations between the two institutions, an agreement was signed in 2016 extending the period of validity of the existing agreement.
SPAIN
Universidad de Salamanca
In the period from March 2012 to February 2014, the Federal Universities of Goias and Bahia implemented a joint Project with the Spanish University of Salamanca. The Project was financed by the CAPES. In 2012, Professor Élio Cantalício Serpa spent a post-doctoral studies period at Salamanca University during which he carried out research into the performance of the Chargé D’Affaires at the Brazilian Embassy in Madrid at the time of the Spanish Civil War. In 2013, Professor Noé Freire Sandes undertook a study mission to Salamanca University where he studied the education manuals used in Spanish schools in the post-Francoism period. In addition to that project the PPGH is working on another agreement with the Salamanca University in partnership with Júlio Sánchez Gómez who has come to Goiania as a visiting professor on more than one occasion
Universidad Complutense de Madri
The first agreement between the Federal University of Goias and the Universidade Complutense de Madrid was signed in 2016 at the request of the History and Geography Department of the latter which received a PPGH doctoral student for a sandwich course financed by a CAPES sandwich doctorate scholarship in the period 2015,2016. Relations between PPGH and the Spanish University actually date from much farther back and have included post-doctorate studies and Spanish scholarships for PPGH Academic staff but now they have been institutionalized.
UNITED KINGDOM
Bristol University-British Academy
“Global Nuclear Vulnerability” is the title of a research Project being conducted by Professors Carlo Patti and Benoit Pelopidas (Bristol University) which is aimed at analyzing Brazil, France and Germany’s reactions to the 1962 missile crisis. The project was approved by the British Academy in 2014 and received financial support in the form of a Newton Advanced Fellowship. It started in 2015 with a time frame of two years duration. Professor Patti is expected to stay in Bristol for a certain period each year to conduct studies there and Professor Pelopidas, from the British side will in turn come to the Federal University of Goias each year. Financing for the project amounted to 138 thousand pounds.
URUGUAY
Universidad de la Republica (UDELAR)
Although the agreement was signed only in 2019, the presence of UDELAR professors at PPGH-UFG has been constant since 2016, with the participation of university professors in the "International Colloquium: Diversity of Cultures," held annually with the objective of putting in dialogue Latin American researchers from the universities with which the Program has agreements. The exchange of professors-researchers between universities has been active, with work missions developed by UFG professors at UDELAR and vice-versa.
ITALY
Università Degli Studi Di Cagliari (UNICA)
The agreement with the University of Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy) is, without a doubt, the main international agreement currently in force at PPGH-UFG. It consists of an international doctorate, following the institutional rules of the Italian government. At UNICA, the agreement has the structure of a doctoral course, while at UFG, guidelines are organized under the co-tutoring regime. PhD students who do research internships of at least six months at UNICA will be entitled to a double degree. Similarly, PhD students at UNICA who do research internships of at least six months at PPGH will also be entitled to this benefit.
