Grimshaw Speakers #17 - Beatriz Buarque: Moving Through Journalism, NGOs and Academia

This week we are thrilled to talk to Beatriz Buarque, LSE100 Fellow, Chevening Scholar, founder of NGO Words Heal the World and PhD at the University of Manchester. After 10 years as a journalist at Brazil's GloboNews, she founded her NGO and moved to the UK to pursue a Master's in International Relations and then a PhD investigating the legitimisation of alt-right conspiracy theories in digital spaces. Our host Carola and Co-Editor Carmen talk with Beatriz about her career changes, founding and running an NGO during her studies, and her journey in academia.Some useful links:Words Heal the World website: https://wordshealtheworld.comBeatriz Buarque's LSE profile: https://info.lse.ac.uk/current-students/lse100/people/beatriz-buarqueBeatriz Buarque's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/beatriz-buarque/?originalSubdomain=uk
