Anna Grimaldi is a lecturer in politics and international relations at the University of Leeds. Her work focuses on themes of dictatorship, political resistance, and transnational solidarity. She has written on exile and solidarity activism in the context of Brazil's military dictatorship of 1964 to 1985, some of which has been published in her recent book - Brazil and the Transnational Human Rights Movement. Anna's more recent research examines solidarity activism and social movements across and between Latin America and the "Global South", particularly the ways in which social movements and political projects of the past are called upon by activists in the present through artistic and cultural production. Anna has taught at City Lit for three years and is keen to teach despite now living in Leeds.
