The recent performance by musician “Bad Bunny” during the 2026 Super Bowl interval motivates this conversation, which also signals the start of the second semester at NOVA FCSH, as well as the return to Colégio Almada Negreiros. The meeting will be an opportunity to watch the television broadcast of the performance, followed by a debate moderated by Carla Baptista, researcher of ICNOVA and professor of Communication Sciences at NOVA FCSH, with researchers Alejandro Reyes-Lucero, Alix Didier Sarrouy and Andrew Snyder.
We invite students, researchers, and faculty members to participate.
At the end of the event, we will make a toast to our reunion.
