Interview with Claudio Corrêa: Visiting Researcher from the BNWC

LusoGlobe recently hosted Claudio Corrêa, a Brazilian Naval War College visiting researcher, as part of our “Security and Defence” research line. In an interview with LusoGlobe Vice President Paula Ferreira, Claudio shared insights from his six-month tenure, highlighting his focus on scenario planning and strategic foresight.

A retired Captain in the Brazilian Navy and former Chief of the War Game Center, Claudio contributed his expertise on scenario planning, exploring NATO navies' approaches to strategic foresight and long-term security challenges. His time at LusoGlobe has included teaching in the Master’s program in Diplomacy and International Relations, engaging in the LusoGlobe Projects on Scenarios and Gamification and on Maritime Security, and contributing to key events like the NATO Maritime Security Congress, NATO Congress on Simulations and workshops on Scenarios and Geopolitics.

As he returns to Brazil, Claudio’s research will continue strengthening our collaborative understanding of defense futures and scenario studies.

Bentley Professor João Resende Santos joins LusoGlobe as Fulbright Fellow

João Resende-Santos, an associate professor of international studies, has been honored with a 2024-2025 Fulbright U.S. Scholar Award, a highly competitive and prestigious academic fellowship offered through the U.S. Department of State, to be a visiting researcher at LusoGlobe. 

"As a Fulbright U.S. Scholar, Resende-Santos will spend part of the upcoming academic year at the LusoGlobe Research Center at the University of Lusófona in Lisbon, Portugal, examining newly declassified archives for his forthcoming book on U.S. foreign policy in response to the decolonization of Portugal’s African colonies from 1950 to 1975".  

“The Fulbright fellowship is one of America’s oldest programs for international cultural and educational exchanges and I’m honored to join its global network of scholars,” he says. Crediting colleague Juliet Gainsborough, a professor of political science and chair of Bentley’s Global Studies department, for her steadfast support throughout the application and selection process, Resende-Santos observes that participating in the Fulbright Program is particularly meaningful given his academic discipline. The fellowships, which were established in 1976 to foster peaceful relations between America and other nations, constitute an “overlooked but important dimension of U.S. foreign policy and its so-called ‘soft power’ influence in the world,” he explains. “As someone who studies U.S. foreign policy, I’m honored to now become a part of it.”
