 Pereira discussed Case 13.353 filed by Brazilian judges before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights for alleged human rights violations committed against prisoners in Presidio Central, Porto Alegre. “I want to praise IU McKinney and Unirriter for this opportunity,” Pereira said. “This initiative shows the attention both institutions have in building connections with foreign law faculties.”

 Dean Bravo and Professor Santana joined Pereira and talked about the experiences of international students with IU McKinney’s experiential learning, co-curricular and sociocultural programs. Pereira, who is a state judge in his native Brazil, shared his own insights and experiences as an international student at IU McKinney. He also recently presented a talk as part of the Graduate Programs’ International Student Speaker Series.

 Dr. Paulo Fayet, a professor of Uniritter’s master’s program, invited Pereira to speak with the students. The lecture is part of IU McKinney’s efforts to strengthen relations with Brazilian universities.
