Following up a PhD Program in Urban Studies from the Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (ISCTE-IUL) and the Universidade Nova de Lisboa (FCSH-UNL), I’ve been elaborating the thesis with the title; “Rhythms of the city: the networks of an orchestra in the metropolitan space of Lisbon”; promoted by a doctoral fellowship from FCT – Foundation for Science and Tecnology. I’m a researcher assistant at CIES-IUL and also develop my research work in the projet; “Changing cities: participation processes in Portugal and Brazil”, coordinated by Graça Índias Cordeiro (ISCTE-IUL) and Renata Sá Gonçalves (UFF), where we follow processes of social recomposition and cultural reconfiguration. During 2014/2015, I worked as research fellow in the project; “The work of art and art at work: creative circuits for training and labor integration of immigrants in Portugal”, coordinated by Lígia Ferro (ISCTE-IUL) and Otávio Raposo (ISCTE-IUL). I’ve a master's degree in Sociology from (ISCTE-IUL) and a graduate degree in Philosophy from (FCSH-UNL). I have published several book chapters, both in national and international editions and articles in indexed journals with scientific review.
