Brazil and Switzerland, this *Wednesday 5/21 11am-12:20pm in INTN 3023*.

in Brazil and Switzerland. She is an FNS PhD candidate in history in the
project "Moral and Economic Entrepreneurship in Asia, Africa, Latin
America, and Europe. A Collaborative History of Global Switzerland, c.

feminist peace politics at cfd, the Feminist Peace Organisation. From 2013
to 2020, she was a researcher in Switzerland and programme manager for
