: dc.contributor.author: Drapeau, Louis-Félix dc.date.issued: 2026-10 dc.description.abstract: Depuis la crise de la COVID-19, l’enseignement en ligne s’est imposé comme une composante permanente de l’université québécoise. Pourtant, malgré cette popularisation, le vécu subjectif de cette population demeure largement invisibilisé par une littérature scientifique souvent centrée sur une démonstration de sa réussite pédagogique et l'efficacité technique de ses dispositifs.

: KEY TAKEAWAYS Social policies, such as support for small businesses, and a shorter working week without a loss of pay helped president Lula to turn around Brazil’s election. Street protests and social media strengthened Lula’s campaign amid allegations of election interference by Meta favouring Flávio Bolsonaro. Major challenges lie ahead as Lula faces a right-leaning Congress, opposition from the Bolsonaro movement and pressure from the Trump administration. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won Brazil’s presidential election with 51.79% of valid votes, unexpectedly reversing the first-round result won by Flávio Bolsonaro, a first in Brazilian presidential elections. Between the two rounds, he gained about 10.4 million additional votes. Defeated, right-wing challenger Flávio Bolsonaro announced that he would ask for the election to be annulled. The next day, his party, the Liberal Party (PL), acknowledged the result. Brazil’s nonalignment sounds a warning to the global far right Beyond halting the advance of Donald[...]
