title: [Eugenics and education in twentieth-century Brazil: an interview with Jerry Dávila].
abstract: A Brazilianist, historian, and specialist in the relationships between eugenics, race, and education, the director of the Lemann Institute, Jerry Dávila, shares in this interview some of his experiences as a scholar of these subjects. In Diploma of whiteness, a book that had major repercussions and circulated widely amongst Brazilian researchers, he examined how race and eugenics influenced Brazilian education between 1917 and 1945. Dávila highlights the challenges facing eugenics research at the present time, his impressions of the seminar "History of eugenics: broadening perspectives" held by Casa de Oswaldo Cruz/Fiocruz in 2015, in which he took part, and his latest research interests.
