She has worked on various topics including gender sociology, critical masculinity studies, sexualities and citizenship, social inequalities and the intersections between gender positions, migration and race/ethnicity in Portugal, Europe and the post-colonial world. Her current research focuses on marginalised groups and covers multiple themes, mobilising an intersectional and transnational perspective. These themes are reflected in his publications (more than 40 journal articles and several books, including Plural masculinities. The remaking of the self in private life (Routledge, 2016) and Gender fields. The social organisation of gender identity (Routledge, forthcoming 2024). Sofia has published several research articles and book chapters on gender from a postcolonial perspective, based on her work in Mozambique and her research on marginalised groups.
She has participated in 19 national and international research projects. In recent years she has coordinated the project TRANSRIGHTS: Gender Citizenship and Sexual Rights in Europe, funded by the European Research Council (CoG No. 615594). This project involved a large team of researchers and scientific advisors and compared the lives of transgender people in five European countries (Portugal, the UK, Sweden, the Netherlands and France). Sofia is currently leading the FCT-funded project Race Trouble. This project adopts a qualitative exploratory strategy and analyses the situated meanings of racial and ethnic categories and the discrimination experienced by racial minorities and migrants. She also leads the Portuguese team of the project UNITE: University Network for Inclusive and Digital Education (Erasmus 2023-2027 consortium), which focuses on vulnerable students.
