‘The US system is being destroyed’: researchers talk about leaving America for a safer place to do science in France Almost 300 researchers have applied for positions at Aix-Marseille University after Trump initiated his attack on academia Ashifa Kassam. Sat 5 Jul 2025 In March, Brian Sandberg, a political scientist working at a top US university, realized it was time to leave his home country. He had been watching how Trump’s administration had launched devastating attacks on academia: cutting funding, targeting international students and forbidding certain research fields and keywords. “Things have really changed … The entire system of research and higher education in the United States is under attack,” he said. Soon after, he became one of the many researchers to apply for a French university’s groundbreaking offer of “scientific asylum”. The program, launched by Aix-Marseille University, is one of Europe’s first initiatives to help US researchers. The program offers three years of funding to around 20 scientists seeking escape from the academic repression in America. Three months after they launched their program – named Safe Place for Science – the university said it had received more than 500 applications from researchers in top US institutions. In interviews, some of the applicants explained why they had applied for the program. “There’s a lot of censorship now, it’s crazy,” said Carol Lee, an evolutionary biologist, “There are a lot of words that we’re not allowed to use when applying for grants: diversity, women, LGBTQ.” Many scientists don’t want to compromise their academic freedom. “People are moving, for sure,” said Lee. “A lot of top people have already moved to China. And China is laying out the red carpet. If people are getting an offer from Canada, people are moving to Canada.” “It’s a very discouraging time to be a scientist,” said James, a climate researcher who asked that his full name not be used. “I think America has always had some people who don’t trust scientists—and right now, they have a lot of influence, even though they’re not the majority. I have very mixed feelings about the move,” he said. “I’m very grateful that I’ll have the opportunity, but really quite sad that I need the opportunity.” Source: https://www.theguardian.com/education/2025/jul/05/academics-leaving-us-scientific-asylum-france-trump. [Adapted]. Select the correct proposition(s) according to the information in text 2.
  1. 01)China has created a program called ‘red carpet’ to hire US scientists.
  2. 02)Some American scientists are moving abroad because they don’t agree with the government actions in higher education.
  3. 04)James is not entirely happy with the prospect of moving to another country.

Affirmative action changes “face of Brazil’s universities,” study says Isabela Vieira, 18/06/2025 Brazil, a country with 112.7 million black and brown people (55.2% of the population) and over 1.6 million indigenous people, took a long time to recognize its ethno-racial diversity among university students. But in the past 20 years, affirmative action has changed the profile of Brazilian universities. These changes have helped to correct this limitation and positively transform the spaces responsible for knowledge and the education of new generations, according to sociologists Luiz Augusto Campos and Márcia Lima. Campos and Lima are the editors of the book The Impact of Quotas: Two Decades of Affirmative Action in Brazilian Higher Education, which offers a detailed assessment of the policy and highlights ongoing challenges, such as student retention. In the book, they compiled 35 chapters that review the policy from its origins, beginning with a 1987 bill introduced by then-Congressman Abdias Nascimento—shortly after his return from exile in the United States—proposing the application of affirmative action in education. Since then, a sector once dominated by young white students from the middle and upper classes until the late 1990s has come to include a majority of black, brown, and indigenous students, who made up 52.4 percent of public university enrollment in 2021, up from 31.5 percent in 2001. Over the same period, the share of students from socioeconomic classes D and E rose from 20 percent to 52 percent, highlighting the economic dimension of the shift. As Gomes observed, the quotas “have not only expanded access to universities but also brought about changes in teaching and curricular practices, destabilizing exclusionary structures in the educational system.” Source: https://agenciabrasil.ebc.com.br/en/educacao/noticia/2025-06/affirmative-action-changes-face-brazils-universities-study-says. [Adapted]. Select the correct proposition(s) according to information in text 3.
  1. 01)Affirmative action in Brazil was initiated by an American politician.
  2. 02)The book The Impact of Quotas was organized by two sociologists.
  3. 04)The number of white students enrolled in public universities was similar in 1990 and 2021.
  4. 08)More than 50% of the Brazilian population is black or brown.
  5. 16)In 2021, middle class students were the majority in Brazilian public universities.
  6. 32)The curricula of Brazilian public universities have remained the same since 1987.

Book review Industrial Park: A Proletarian Novel Author: Patricia Galvao (Pagu) English edition, Elizabeth Jackson and K David Jackson (Translators), University of Nebraska Press, 1993 A member of Brazil’s avant-garde in its heyday, Patrícia Galvão (or to use her nickname, Pagu) was extraordinary. Not only was her work among the most exciting and innovative published in the 1930s, it was unique in portraying an avant-garde woman’s view of women in São Paulo during that audacious period. Industrial Park, first published in 1933, is Galvão’s most notable literary achievement. It is a book about the voices, clashes, and traffic of a city in the middle of rapid change. It includes fragments of public documents as well as dialogue and narration, giving a panorama of the city in a sequence of colorful slices. The novel dramatizes the problems of exploitation, poverty, racial prejudice, prostitution, state repression, and neocolonialism, but it is by no means a doctrinaire tract. Like many of her contemporaries, Galvão was a member of the Brazilian Communist Party. She was imprisoned and tortured under the Vargas dictatorship between 1935 and 1940. In the 1940s she returned to the public through her journalism and literary activities. She died in 1962. Source: https://www.nebraskapress.unl.edu/nebraska/9780803270411/industrial-park. [Adapted]. Select the question(s) that can be answered with information from text 4.
  1. 01)When was Pagu born?
  2. 02)Who are the main characters in Industrial Park?
  3. 04)Where was the writer born?
  4. 08)What are some themes explored in the novel Industrial Park?
  5. 16)What was the first book published by Pagu?
  6. 32)When was the book translation published?

Text 3 You’ve seen this movie before, but Jack and Morgan make it taste better than average A car mechanic Carter Chambers (Freeman) and a billionaire hospital CEO Edward Cole (Nicholson) meet for the first time in the hospital after both have been diagnosed with cancer. They become friends as they undergo their respective treatments. Carter is a gifted amateur historian and family man. Edward is a four-times-divorced healthcare tycoon and cultured loner who enjoys drinking expensive coffee and tormenting his personal assistant. Carter begins writing a “bucket list,” or things to do before he “kicks the bucket.” After hearing he has less than a year to live, Carter crumples it up and tosses it on the floor. When Edward finds the list, he urges Carter to do everything on the list and offers to finance the trip. Carter agrees and the pair begins an around-the-world vacation, embarking on race car driving, skydiving, climbing the Pyramids, and going on a lion safari in Africa. As much as I love Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, I wasn’t very excited about seeing this movie... it looked really cheesy, and the reviews were not good at all. It turned out pretty good, actually... We’ve all seen movies about people who find out they only have some time left and make a list of things to do before dying, and The Bucket List is not original or innovative at all, but Nicholson and Freeman alone make it worth seeing. It’s not sappy as most movies about terminal patients and it’s entertaining enough. And even though it doesn’t intend to be serious or thought-provoking, death is always a delicate issue, and this movie might make you reflect about how you spend your time: in movies, people only start living to the fullest when they get to know they’re about to die. That’s something we should all think about: we should all enjoy more the present instead of worrying so much about the future, because, unfortunately, there’s no such thing as life guarantee. For its humor and tenderness, The Bucket List deserves a 7.5/10 from me. Glossary: Bucket list: a list of things that one has not done before but wants to do before dying. To kick the bucket: to die.

Text 5 Torto Arado by Itamar Vieira Júnior: The Fight for Land Rights in Brazil’s Northeast Itamar Vieira Júnior is a writer from Brazil’s north-eastern state of Bahia. His multi award-winning debut novel Torto Arado (Crooked Plough) is a beautifully written tour de force that unflinchingly gives a voice to the country’s silenced Black, Indigenous and Quilombola communities who have been fighting for their land rights for hundreds of years. ‘Quilombolas’ is the name for residents of Quilombos: settlements originally formed by fugitive slaves. There are roughly 3,000 Quilombos in Brazil today. Vieira Júnior is a writer who has experienced first-hand many of the themes explored in Torto Arado. Over the past 15 years, he has worked for Brazil’s land reform agency INCRA (National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform), which led him to live intimately with the Quilombola communities depicted in the novel, getting to know their stories, rituals and struggles. The novel has been making waves on the literary scene both at home and abroad, and it is very deserving of the many accolades it has won. When Torto Arado was first published in Portugal in 2018, it won the LeYa Prize, Portugal’s most prestigious literary prize. And in 2020, Vieira Júnior won two awards: he received a Jabuti Prize, the most traditional and prestigious literary prize in Brazil; and the Oceanos Prize, one of the most important literary prizes for books in the Portuguese language.
