Giso Broman was an adjunct graduate researcher for Professor Holly Gibbs and a Masters student in the School of Library and Information Studies. His research in SAGE investigated the effectiveness of emerging demand-side conservation efforts in Brazil such as the G4 Cattle Agreement and Soy Moratorium. In addition to the work that he did for Professor Gibbs, he also worked on a variety of digitization projects at both the UW Digital Collections Center in Memorial Library and with the Latin American & Iberian Studies Librarian, Paloma Celis Carbajal. While pursuing his BA at UW-Madison (2011) in Geography and Portuguese, Giso received the 2011 Joaquim Nabuco prize and a Foreign Language and Area Studies Fellowship (FLAS) for 2010-2011. Prior to returning to school in 2008, Giso was a letter carrier and clerk at the United States Postal Service for 14 years. His past research interests include rural-urban migration, urban poverty, land use policy, and, above all, contemporary Brazilian culture. The focus of his Masters program was digital media and library metadata.
