Controversy Surrounding Boaventura de Sousa Santos
Boaventura de Sousa Santos, a prominent Portuguese sociologist, has recently announced his resignation from the Centro de Estudos Sociais (CES) at the University of Coimbra. This decision comes in the wake of serious allegations of sexual and moral harassment made against him by researchers affiliated with the center.
In a public statement, Santos expressed his deep mistrust towards the current leadership of CES, accusing them of conducting a 'lynching' campaign against him. He claims that the environment created by the leadership has made it impossible for him to continue his work effectively.
