Abstract

The international year of the Periodic Table and the centenary of the notable chemist and Jewish writer Primo Levi was celebrated in 2019. This led us to organize teaching, research and outreach actions that culminated in the exhibition “A chemist / writer at the museum: science, literature and human rights with Primo Levi”, a permanent collection of the Araraquara Science Center at São Paulo State University (UNESP, Portuguese acronym). This paper presents the processes of planning, assembly and mediation of the exhibition that integrated teaching, research and outreach activities, focusing on the dissemination of Primo Levi’s life and work. The article presents some elements about scientific dissemination and the inseparability of teaching, research and outreach activities; aspects about Primo Levi's rich and plural experience; the inseparability of teaching, research and mainly, of outreach actions in addition to a discussion of some results of this integrative outreach action. It is concluded that Primo Levi's hybridism inspired an effective integration between science, literature and human rights as well as united and articulated teaching, research and outreach activities.
