I'm an anthropologist (PhD 2007) and an assistant researcher with habilitation at the Institute of Social Sciences, University of Lisbon, since 2014. My research focuses on contemporary movement, material culture, food, homes, the senses and the media, with fieldwork conducted in Portugal, the USA, Canada, Brazil, Germany, Australia, Angola and Mozambique. I coordinate the University of Lisbon PhD programme in Migration Studies and serve as ICS Research Libraria. Currently, I lead - BORDERS - a project funded by the Fulbright Schuman Award, which examines the transatlantic movements from North America to Portugal, addressing the temporalities, types and forms of today's borders and their interference in the circulation of people and things. I have held visiting researcher positions at Brown and Massachusetts Universities, Amherst (USA), the University of Toronto (Canada), and the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Marseille, and I regularly collaborate with research units based in other North American, Brazilian, European and Australian universities. I founded and coordinate the ICS Migrations Hub, which integrates students and researchers to enhance, in parallel with the doctoral programme, research and outreach activities related to global human movements and their significance and visibility in contemporary social and political contexts.
