Academic institutions in Brazil are hosting upcoming seminars focused on the intersection of arts, science, and social research.

The University of São Paulo (USP) will host the Social Anthropology Post-doctoral Seminar on August 19 and 20, 2026. Organized by the GRAVI and PAM research groups, the event explores themes including music, cinema, and anthropology. The program includes discussions on music ethnography, audiovisual anthropology, and the impact of generative AI on academic work.
