Knowledge and science in the process of German settler colonialism in southern Brazil: ecological-climatic changes and perspectives of the Digimata project (CNPq - Brazil)

Eduardo Relly (Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil / University of Tübingen)
Eduardo Relly is a Brazilian environmental and science historian working in Germany and Brazil. He is currently the research director of the project "DIGIMATAExternal link: Digitisation of the German-Brazilian Press for the Analysis of Socioecological Changes in the Southern Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest, 1852-1941" (National Council for Scientific and Technological Development-CNPq) at the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil, where he is also a visiting professor. His research combines the global history of biodiversity with analyses of settler colonialism in the tropical and subtropical forests of South America, focusing on agrarian colonisation, dispossession of indigenous knowledge and land use change.
