ATLANTA CONSULAR
CORPS














Imagine a business dinner in Brazil. The conversation moves to football, and not the kind with helmets and first downs. Can you follow? Do you understand the importance of soccer to the identities and lives of your hosts and potential business partners? 

On March 13 we will kick off a series of events to help Atlanta businesspeople understand the game that has captured the hearts of the world. The 2014 World Cup and the importance of cultural understanding in Brazilian business made this football-crazed country the perfect place to start. 

Speakers to include: 

Ambassador Hermano Ribeiro 
Brazilian Consul General to the Southeast 

World Cup and Worldviews

Ambassador Ribeiro began playing football on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro as a child, where he first aspired to become a professional player. He later joined the team at the Rio de Janeiro State University. Serving in Brazil's foreign service, he played on the embassy teams in Washington, Brasilia, Tokyo and Montevideo, Uruguay. 
 

Kirk Bowman
Associate Professor
Georgia Tech's Sam Nunn School of International Affairs

Football and Identity in Brazil

Dr. Bowman, a specialist in Latin American political development, teaches the popular course "Soccer and Global Politics" and is leading the creation of a new sports and society minor. He also leads study-abroad programs in Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica and Cuba and is working on a book examining the political economy of state tourism promotion in Latin America.
