    Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics 25 (1): 19-32. 2012.
    The scientific community has debated the importance of “return” activities after ethnobiological studies. This issue has provoked debate because it touches on the ethics of research and the relationships with the people involved in these studies. This case study aimed to investigate community perception of an ethnobotany research project that was carried out in the semi-arid region of northeastern Brazil.

    A crítica Zizekiana à cultura contempor'nea
    Dialektiké 2 (2): 38-58. 2015.
