UNIVERSITY, MEMORY AND REPARATION

University of São Paulo, Brazil, July 1st-11th 2025

PT

Universities around the world have been fundamental tools for social development, for safeguarding collections and archives, for promoting humanist and democratic values. On the other hand, universities have also been instruments of colonization, concentration of privileges and reproduction of inequalities. Like the rest of society, universities face the enormous challenge of reparation.

There is much to be repaired around us: from structural inequalities of gender, race and sexual identity to destroyed biomes and ecosystems, to communities destroyed by climate change and violence. There is also much to repair within our universities: ensuring a place for ways of life that have never been recognized, rebuilding student and faculty bodies in accordance with the ethnic, class and gender composition of society in general, opening or reopening archives from dark periods, reinterpreting collections and archives, rebuilding libraries to accommodate greater diversity. In some cases, it is necessary to promote processes of true memory and justice, publicly apologize, demarcate dates and places.

The University of São Paulo´s Provost for Inclusion and Belonging, with support from FAPESP, proposes the São Paulo School of Advanced Science in University, Memory and Reparation to address the links between academic research and reparation processes, and recognizing the inseparability of reparation and memory.

The São Paulo School of Advanced Science (ESPCA) is a FAPESP program that offers short courses on advanced topics in science and technology, contributing to the training of participants and strengthening research in the State of São Paulo and Brazil.

The School addresses the social role of the University, not only as a platform and repository for research on the themes of memory, justice, and reparation but also as a relevant institution in these processes. The school stresses the debate on the role of the university as a safeguard of archives and collections, as an entity that interprets and makes available places of memory to society, as an institution that can promote (or obstruct) the right to memory, an institution that can carry social reparation initiatives.

Organized by:
Provost for Inclusion and Belonging – USP and FAPESP

With partnerships of: USP Agency for National and International Cooperation – AUCANI-USP; Biblioteca Brasiliana Guita e José Mindlin; Centro Maria Antônia; Centro de Preservação Cultural USP; Museu Paulista.

FAPESP will pay for the selected participants: airfare (economy class) or ground transportation costs; daily allowances during the course; health insurance. Some of the meals will also be provided free of charge in the University Restaurant.

The School’s program will have three main components:
