Helena Hirata, a renowned Brazilian sociologist and Research Director at the Centre National de la Recherche Cientifique (CNRS) in France, with a distinguished career in the sociology of work and gender studies, was interviewed by Maira Abreu and Eduardo Dimitrov. The interview focuses on the circulation of people, ideas, and research between Brazil and France – traversed by the dense interconnection between academic and activist networks. Hirata’s career, marked by political exile in France in the 1970s, highlights how the bonds forged in the field of activism – feminist, socialist, anti-authoritarian – have intertwined with her integration into academia.
