Understanding the Revolution: a discussion at the João Paulo II University Library

As part of the documentary exhibition "The Democratic Revolution in Portugal: Sources and Research Projects at UCP", the discussion "Understanding the Revolution" will take place on April 29 at 6:00 pm in the João Paulo II University Library building.

The event will feature distinguished speakers including Maria Inácia Rezola, António Barreto, Mário Pinto, Henrique Mota, and Peter Hanenberg, with moderation by Paulo F. de Oliveira Fontes.

The discussion will center on research projects carried out at Universidade Católica Portuguesa on Agrarian Reform and the Revolutionary Process in Portugal between 1974 and 1976. Among the participants are some of the key figures involved in these projects, which have resulted in pioneering studies at the intersection of history, economics, sociology, and political science.

The discussion will address questions related to changes in knowledge and scientific work during the early stages of Democracy in Portugal when universities and research units, like society as a whole, were undergoing rapid transformation.

Topics on the table will also include land distribution and agricultural production, economic organization, political participation, political parties, election campaigns, citizen movements, and social demands.
