Unfortunately and due to unforeseen circumstances, this lecture has been cancelled. We hope to reschedule this event in Fall 2020.

Jean Wyllys was the first LGBTQ activist to serve in Brazil’s federal congress. His platform focused on human rights, the rights of minorities, and positive policies for social and political inclusion of marginalized communities. A vocal opponent of current President Jair Bolsonaro, since 2018, Wyllys has been in exile and is currently a Visiting Researcher at Hutchins Center, Harvard University. He is continuing his work as a journalist, writer, and human rights advocate, with a focus on LGBTQ+ rights. Previous publications include five books and innumerable articles in a variety of academic and non-academic venues.
