In 2015 Brazil experienced its worst ever environmental disaster – affecting nearly a million people and devastating wildlife along the Doce river in Minas Gerais. The King's Brazil Institute will host an event to listen to the stories of the victims kcl.ac.uk/events/underst…

Professor Timothy Power (LAC Oxford) gave a fascinating talk last Friday at this year's KBI Inaugural Lecture at King's College London. We want to thank Prof Power for his presentation, KBI Director Dr Andreza Aruska de Souza Santos for making this possible, and all those who attended the lecture.

We had an incredibly productive day last Wednesday at KBI! We started in the morning with this month’s KBI Research Seminar, and later in the day, KBI hosted an event reflecting on corporate law and the momentous trial of Mariana’s dam collapse.

At the KBI Seminar, Rute Passos, PhD Cand in IR at King's College London and USP - Universidade de São Paulo, presented her highly insightful research about the relationship between global governance, hegemony, and CSR. We also thank Dr Tatiana Terry for her excellent contributions as a discussant.

In one of the largest lawsuits in the UK's history, which started this week, the victims of the 2015 Mariana tragedy are taking the mining companies responsible for the dam collapse to court in London.

KBI provided a space for victims to tell their stories and an opportunity for the public to understand better how the lawsuit has evolved and why it came to Britain. King's Social Science & Public Policy King's Global Affairs Andreza Aruska de Souza Santos
