She coordinates the Postgraduate Seminars in Social Psychology at ICS-UL, and co-coordinates the research project LUSO - The past in the present: Social Pychological Underpinnings of Luso-tropicalism in the Legitimation of Social and Racial Inequality (2022.05941.PTDC).
Filipa Madeira is currently accepting applications from Master's and Ph.D. students interested in conducting research under her supervision. Her current research interests are divided into two streams:
Project Stream 1: The Social Psychology of Colonialism. This stream focuses on understanding the psychosocial consequences of colonial representations for contemporary intergroup relations. Specifically, it examines the impact of colonial ideological thinking on race relations, with a focus on the relationship between lusotropicalism and the legitimization of racial inequality.
Project Stream 2. The Social Psychology of Racial Inequalities in Healthcare. This stream aims to understand how socio-psychological processes influence medical decision-making, producing intergroup inequalities in healthcare delivery. In addition, it seeks to develop and implement tools to measure bias in clinical decision-making processes.
Students interested in empirical approaches to colonial ideology, racism, and intergroup inequalities in different domains of social life (e.g., healthcare, education, housing, policing) are encouraged to get in touch.
Keywords: Intergroup Relations; Intergroup Healthcare Inequalities; Colonial Ideologies; Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination.
