Edelstein, born in the United States, is a Brazilian resident, living in Rio de
Janeiro with his Brazilian daughter Mariane since 1992. He graduated in Political
Science from the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle (1970) and received
a Master of Social Work from New York University (1982). His involvement with
political and social issues dates back to the 1960's anti-war and civil rights
movements.From his first visit to Brazil in the 1970's he developed an interest in Brazilian society, culture and politics. An entrepreneur and former art dealer, specializing in contemporary Brazilian art, he decided to create the Edelstein Center for Social Research to promote innovative thinking and advance the public debate on the challenges Brazil and Latin America face in confronting global transformations. He believes that while the present wave of globalization presents risks, it also offers opportunities, and that creative solutions are the product of experimenting with new thinking and confrontation of ideas. It is Joel Edelstein's hope that the Center will contribute to the creation of other similar initiatives to support Brazil's development, democratic institutions and policy-making. e-mail: joel@centroedelstein.org.br |
