Her research analyzes representations of the Brazilian military dictatorship in literature and popular culture. She is currently completing a book project about how literary fiction has responded to, and helped inform, government policies seeking to redress dictatorship-era human rights crimes. The Glick fellowship will allow Rebecca to spend several weeks in Brazil next fall researching two new government initiatives with direct bearing on her current project: the proposed creation of a National Truth Commission and the inauguration of Brazil’s first national memorial dedicated to victims of political repression. The results of this research will be published in the form of an epilogue to the book she is presently completing and will also jumpstart a second project on memorials and monuments in post-dictatorship Brazil.
