Interview, Pedro Meira Monteiro, North American UniversitiesAbstract
The interview with Pedro Meira Monteiro (Princeton University) analyzes the crisis facing US universities in the face of the rise of the far-right and the Trump administration's interventions in 2025. The author discusses the "anti-intellectual aesthetic" and the symbolic nature of the attacks on the Ivy League, interpreting them as an offensive against critical thinking and academic autonomy. Monteiro correlates the authoritarian experiences of Brazil and the US, highlighting the role of the "anti-woke" agenda and religious fundamentalism in the erosion of secular values. The account emphasizes the practical impacts of institutional instability: budget cuts through endowment taxation, legal insecurity for immigrants, and the internalization of fear on campus.
