The seven authors examine how their lived experiences with gender, race, and place/displacement have impacted on their social identities and on their roles as researchers and teachers. They describe how personal and intellectual negotiations in their new location have influenced their fight for plural forms of knowing and being.

This collaboration offers at least three unique contributions:
(i) It expands the debate on geopolitics of knowledge and the position of female scholars from the Global South beyond the United States as a site of experiences;
(ii) It is interdisciplinary, both in the composition of the group and in the way the contributors write their narratives; and
(iii) It reveals alternatives to resist epistemic violence within corporate academia.

It examines the US and Brazilian foreign policy making in a historical perspective, and highlights how ideas and beliefs, instead of material facts only, impacted on the demise of the negotiations.

While environmental concerns are one of the motivations behind recent mobilisations, the alliances that are emerging bring together groups with a diversity of interests and ideological orientation. Disappointment with political elites and concerns with lack of transparency and public accountability, are setting the foundations for new forms of grassroots collaboration. Against the widespread notion of depoliticisation in Western liberal democracies, I argue that the growth in community mobilisation in country Australia reveals a more dynamic relationship with politics, one that requires differentiating the more rigid spaces within political institutions, from the political field more broadly.

It argues that the initiative clashed with predominant views Brazilian foreign trade policy makers held as to how Brazil could and should defend its interests in the Americas. Consequently, the FTAA project lacked the domestic political support necessary to transform it into an actual foreign policy priority in Brazil. More broadly, the case of Brazil shows that while globalization and the proliferation of trade agreements are pressuring states to rethink their strategies to deal with increasing competition, responses continue to be affected by the ideas and beliefs of decision-makers concerning their country’s space for action and aspired role in the world economy.
