No dia 20 de fevereiro, Filipa Madeira (ICS-ULisboa) será a oradora convidada do Seminário do Grupo de Investigação SPARC. A oradora apresentará ideias teóricas e metodológicas em desenvolvimento para uma proposta de investigação atualmente em preparação para submissão aos próximos Projetos de Investigação Exploratória da FCT 2024.

In this presentation, I will introduce the research proposal I am preparing for submission to the FCT Exploratory Research Projects 2024. My primary goal is to receive constructive feedback to refine and strengthen the project's current state. The project will examine how colonial ideological thinking influences historical knowledge, racism denial, and opposition to reparative policies in contemporary Portuguese society. Specifically, it investigates how colonial ideological beliefs may predict colonial historical knowledge accuracy, and how lack of colonial historical knowledge may support different  perceptions of systemic vs. interpersonal racism and symbolic vs. material reparation. Additionally, the project explores the role of national identification as a moderator and colonial historical knowledge as a mediator in these relationships. By integrating both informational and ideological mechanisms, this research aims to advance our understanding of the psychosocial processes that sustain systemic racism denial, ultimately shedding light on the challenges of justice and reconciliation in postcolonial contexts.

Filipa Madeira is a social psychologist and a researcher at the Institute of Social Sciences (ICS) of the University of Lisbon, where she coordinates the Postgraduate Seminars in Social Psychology. Throughout her career, she has coordinated the research project WHOLS - Whose Lives Should Be Saved? Race/Ethnicity of Patients and Medical Rationing during the COVID-19 Pandemic and currently leads the WEMIX - Colonial Ideologies, Racism Denial, and Social Exclusion in Contemporary Portuga project.
