Abstract

The Revista da CGU inaugurates through this edition an innovative section of academic publications in an interview format. The purpose of the new section is to present society with current, relevant, and dense discussions in a more dynamic and open format than the traditional configuration of academic articles. Fostering new formats of academic and scientific communication is an obligation imposed by the reality in which we live: the times when academics could communicate only with each other and only through strictly academic articles are already a thing of the past. The plurality of current forms of communication - audio interviews, podcasts, videos, newsletters - needs to be incorporated by the academy, as a science that does not communicate with the general public is necessarily more closed, less diverse, and less effective.


It is a great honor to inaugurate this section with Profa. Dr. Raquel Lima Scalcon, whose academic production is nationally and internationally recognized as innovative and disruptive. The work of Profa. Raquel is marked by transversality and interdisciplinarity: her understanding of legal phenomena is built from the borders of Constitutional, Administrative, and Criminal Law.
