Research Projects


































The research projects presented here emerge from ongoing work between the university, academic research, and the contexts of Afro-Brazilian terreiros in Maranhão, particularly in the municipality of Codó. The projects bring together undergraduate and graduate students, research collaborators working in different contexts, as well as researchers and interlocutors connected to the terreiros of encantaria themselves.
