No dia 12 de dezembro, o Grupo de Investigação SPARC organiza um Seminário sobre o tema Contemporary Colonial Ideological Thinking and Existing Measures: A Scoping Review. Ana Cabrita (Universidade de Coimbra) será a oradora convidada. A partir das 14h30, na Sala 2 do ICS-ULisboa e online.

This study analyses the existing literature on contemporary colonial ideological thinking (CONCIT) within Social Psychology. It examines various concepts, including social representations of history and post-colonial ideologies, identifying their structures and measures, to create a structure model that can be applied in the further study of this concept. This scoping review also explores the antecedents of CONCIT and its consequences. This research is the first step in understanding CONCIT within an integrative landscape, looking not only for its definitions but also at the psycho-social and cognitive processes behind it and behind today’s intergroup attitudes and relations.

Ana Cabrita is a 2nd year PhD student in Social and Cognitive Psychology at the University of Coimbra. She is also an integrated member of the LUSO Project, funded by FCT and coordinated by Professor Cícero Roberto Pereira. Her PhD project is about the legitimizing role of Colonial Ideological Thinking in attitudes toward public policy against immigrants from former colonized countries, and therefore justifying the maintenance of social inequalities in Portuguese society.
