Abstract

This BEPE proposal is an arm of my ongoing postdoctoral research which investigates the articulations between ecology and ethnicity that guide the socio-environmental policies carried out by the Catholic Church in Brazil. I propose a 12-month BEPE research stay at the University of Edinburgh, under the supervision of Professor Maya Mayblin, preeminent scholar in the field of anthropology of religion. I justify the proposal by arguing it would strengthen my ongoing research on three fronts: theoretical perspectives, maintenance and extension of academic networks, and resumption and continuation of archives fieldwork.
