Júlio Souza de Oliveira

I am a contract Ph.D. student in History at the Université Paris-Saclay (since Fall 2022) and the University of Notre Dame (since Fall 2024), under an international joint Ph.D. degree. Member of the IDHE.S-Evry laboratory (UMR 8533) and the Kellogg Institute for International Studies, I have also been a lecturer in History in the History Department of the Université Evry Paris-Saclay since 2023. My doctoral project, entitled “Transnational Circulations of Self-Management Ideas: Chile, France, and Mexico in the Global Sixties,” examines the transnational circulation of self-management ideas and practices between Latin America and Europe during the Global Sixties. In this way, I analyze how intellectuals, activists, and students in France, Mexico, and Chile circulated ideas about self-management through left-wing networks during the 1960s and 1970s.

I hold a master’s degree in History, Economies, Societies (2022) from Université Paris-Saclay (UPSaclay/France), in whose dissertation I analyzed the trajectory of the “Brasília group”–some Marxist Intellectuals of Dependency Theory: Vânia Bambirra, Theotônio Dos Santos, Ruy Mauro Marini, and Andre Gunder Frank–during their stay at the Center for Socio-Economic Studies (CESO) in Santiago de Chile (1966-1973); a master’s degree in Social History of Brazil (2022) from the Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA/Brazil), in whose dissertation I carried out an analyze on the history of agribusiness during the Brazilian military dictatorship, based on the implementation of a Japanese-Brazilian project called PRODECER (1964-1979); and a bachelor’s degree in History (2019) from the same university.
