About

In 2024, I made my debut as a film director (i.e. co-director) with the documentary «The Carnation Revolution - Portugal from dictatorship to democracy» first time screened at OsloMet on 25 April.

In my research, I am concerned with Democracy: how it is weakened in many countries and in many areas, and how it can be strengthened instead of undermined in front of today's global challenges at local and national levels. I tend to focus on Lusophone (Portuguese-speaking) countries such as Brazil, Mozambique and Portugal.

2023-27: employee representative on OsloMet's board. Helped run a DemocracyLab to contribute to increased university democracy.

Field of study
