Internationalization
PósCom-Ufes has carried out several actions to increase its relationship with postgraduate institutions in other countries. And, especially in recent years, the international exchange of people and activities related to PostCom-Ufes has increased.
International research networks
- More professors have left Brazil for postdoctoral studies, and even one professor went as a visiting professor, as: - Fábio Gouveia served as a visiting professor at the Department of Sociology at City University of London in 2019 and 2020; and b) Edgard Rebouças, who is an associate member of the Center de recherche interuniversitaire sur la communication, l'information et la société (CRICIS) at the Université du Québec à Montréal (CAN) - where he also carried out part of his doctorate - carried out his most recent work at that center post-doctorate, between 2021 and 2022, on Cultural Industries. This postdoctoral degree was started, however, at the University of Texas at Austin, UT Austin, United States, also in "Cultural Industries", shortly before the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, which is why it had to be suspended;
- Rafael Paes is a member of the Red Iberoamericana de Investigación en Cultura y Conocimiento delos Sistemas Alimentarios (RIICCA); It is
- Cicilia Peruzzo has dedicated herself to managing national and Ibero-American scientific associations related to popular and community communication, coordinating working groups in this same field. She presided over the Ibero-American Association of Communication Researchers (Assibercom) between 2019 and 2023.
Visiting Professor Mastrini
In 2023, it began receiving the work of professor Guillermo Mastrini, from the Universidad Nacional de Quilmes (ARG), as a foreign visiting professor, received through Progep Notice 216/2022. An internationally recognized researcher in the area of Political Economy of Communication, Professor Mastrini soon offered the subject "Structure and concentration of media in Brazil".
New institutional agreement
With the same Universidad Nacional de Quilmes (ARG) as professor Guillermo Mastrini, PósCom is preparing an international agreement to begin in 2024.
Reception of foreign students
In 2021, PósCom welcomed academic Adriana Esperanza Blanco Gonzales as a master's student, coming from Venezuela through a federal program to welcome master's students. Adriana will defend her dissertation in February 2024. This same year, the program will welcome a student from Paraguay as a master's student.
Graduates go abroad
After completing their master's degree at PósCom-Ufes, some students obtain good placements to carry out their entire doctorates abroad, whilst maintaining their links with the academic area of communication in Esírito Santo. Marialina Antolini, for example, is in the Information and Media Studies Program at Michigan University University, and continues to participate in the publication of books related to the program, in addition to the activities of the Media Observatory. Wagner Piassaroli Mantovaneli, who studied for a PhD in Communication Science at the University of Vienna (AUS), is currently a professor in the department of social communication at Universidade Vila Velha and in the postgraduate program in public security at the same university.
More publications in other languages
In general, the PostCom faculty has increasingly published in other languages. It is worth noting as examples those available in the profiles of professors Gabriela Alves and Ruth Reis(link is external) on Google Scholar.
Perennial opportunities
As part of Ufes, PósCom participates in international exchange offers carried out by the Ufes' International Office. One of those that will be prioritized this year will be the International Cooperation Group of Brazilian Universities (GCUB), with which Ufes has been offering scholarships since 2012.
