Western students Nadine Domingo, Monica Rocha Martinez and Pamela Block travelled to Florianopolis, Brazil for a field research trip in May 2023. (Pamela Block photo) Nadine Domingo wanted to learn a language that has special meaning in her life. Monica Rocha Martinez wanted to explore a new region and culture in her home country. Together the two Western students fulfilled personal and professional goals on a unique field research trip this summer to Florianopolis, Brazil with anthropology professor Pamela Block. It wasn't a traditional academic trip as much as a self-directed journey to experience Brazilian research and culture. The group went to explore disability studies and activism, teaming up with Block's longtime research associate and friend Marivete Gesser, a psychologist and professor at the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) in Florianopolis. Gesser also works in the field of disability research and is the head of the Centre for Disability Studies at her university.
