Disability in the Brazilian Context

As we launch the Forum on Inclusive Travel at eTur.com.br (in Portuguese), I find myself more frequently checking the site of Temple University student, Jared Goyette -- Disability in the Brazilian Context http://bahiadisabilitystudy.blogspot.com/ -- and appreciating his work and insights.

This Forum is going to fly -- thanks to the work of Brazilian Catharina de Medeiros Lacerda from the Sorbonne, Paris (the French version; undergoing translation to English), the backoffice IT work and tourism and disability writing of Hugo Côrtes de Paula, together with Cristiane Guimarães (vacationing somewhere in Aracaju and causing me to turn exquisite shades of chartruese-green with "ciumes"/envy!)

Here are some articles by this "Team Turismólgos Unidos" with an invitation to join in by registering at www.eTur.com.br and the sending me an email (srains@oco.net):
