Global Conversations: PUCPR and DePaul University session!

PUCPR students, and the academic community as a whole, were invited to register for the next edition of Global Conversations program, which was held online from April 24. The event, promoted by DePaul University (USA), brings together students from all over the world to discuss current topics of global interest in the English language, always mediated by professors from different universities.

Global Conversations sessions are 90-minute lively Zoom synchronous sessions in which students from several international partner institutions interact in a guided, facilitated manner on a list of global topics. DePaul faculty members have partnered with faculty from our international partner universities from Brazil, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Australia, the UK, and more in these sessions.  These dynamic sessions have cultivated intercultural, meaningful discussions on how global issues affect various academic disciplines and industries, such as psychology, public health, business, and more.

In addition to the sessions coordinated by PUCPR professors, other debate sessions were available for student registration. You can check them out by clicking here.

On April 27, PUCPR Professor Karlan Muniz (PUCPR School of Fine Arts) and Professor Ignacio Luri from DePaul University (USA) hosted the session entitled “The post pandemic consumers: have they changed?“.

About the session: after a period of pandemic and economic and political instability in many countries, with countless restrictions, fears and changes in consumption habits, what has changed in the contemporary consumer? Reports from world research institutes have gradually pointed to changes in the profile, way of thinking and relationship with consumption after this period. This Global Conversation is an opportunity to debate this trend, and explore differences and similarities between countries.
