A partir do enquadramento sociológico dos percursos de vida de sujeitos neurodivergentes (especificamente autistas e/ ou com Perturbação de Hiperatividade e Défice de Atenção), procura-se analisar a relação do indivíduo com o exercício institucional de controlo social para a normalidade.Para este efeito, verifica-se a preponderância deste controlo em contextos específicos. Na infância, a escola tem um papel central na definição do “objeto desviante”. Ao longo da vida, a medicina tende a exercer esse controlo através de mecanismos para a patologização de características comportamentais desviantes.Pretende-se desenvolver uma pesquisa qualitativa de cariz intensivo, com a realização de entrevistas a adultos autistas e/ ou PHDA com base em critérios que remetam para a diversidade de experiências. Entende-se que o reenquadramento das subjetividades autistas e PHDA fora do escopo biomédico capacita a presente pesquisa para o aprofundamento de uma abordagem sociológica acerca da reflexividade neurodivergente.

Porque é que as “Big Techs” se tornam proprietárias de cabos submarinos de internet, como se produz essa evolução e que efeitos dela decorrem? Este projeto pretende contribuir para as discussões atuais sobre a Economia Política e os impactos sobre os poderes dos Estados e os direitos dos cidadãos, a partir de um objeto de estudo que se foca nas infraestruturas críticas necessárias a sociedades cada vez mais dependentes de redes de transmissão de internet. A partir de uma análise que considera as relações de poder entre empresas e o papel que as autoridades públicas desempenham, comparamos a experiência recente de três países – Brasil, França e Portugal – procurando compreender a interação entre configurações de mercado, regulação pública e papel do Estado, e suas consequências sobre as relações de poder entre empresas, Estados e populações.   Orientador: Maria Luísa Veloso Co-Orientador: Ricardo Paes Mamede

The COOPERHATE - Multidisciplinary cooperation approach to prevent and counter hate crime and hate speech aims to provide a comprehensive approach to the prevention, reporting, investigation and prosecution of hate crime and speech-related incidents focused on (i) improving the enforcement of hate speech and hate crime-related laws; (ii) ensuring justice, protection and support for hate crime and hate speech victims; (iii) increasing the capacity of public authorities and civil society to identify, detect and act on hate speech and hate crime; and (iv) raising public awareness to hate speech and hate crime. To do so, COOPERHATE will perform an assessment of current gaps and obstacles to the successful implementation of hate crime-related laws, develop an online platform & app for hate crime reports and to enhance victim involvement, develop collaboration protocols between CSOs, LEAs, IT companies and judicial actors, create the COOPERHATE’s Detection & Assessment Technology and Motivation Identification & Victim Assistance (MIVA) Toolkit, provide a b-Learning training course for LEAs, CSOs and judicial actors, and implement a holistic awareness-raising and public positive-narrative campaign.

Adolescents in alternative care are at high risk of developmental outcomes. However, adolescence also offers avenues for positive changes and recovery from early adversities. To date, research has faced challenges in determining how adolescents’ psychosocial functioning changes during their time in care, and underlying mechanisms that contribute to resilience and wellbeing. Therefore, the question of “what works, for whom, and in what circumstances?” remains unanswered. The CAREFAL project draws on psychology, social anthropology, and public health to disentangle the developmental trajectories of adolescents in two alternative care settings (i.e., family foster care, residential care). This unique proposal aims to explore the differences across settings and how adolescents’ self-regulation interacts with the quality of their relationships with caregivers to promote positive outcomes. Additionally, CAREFAL aims at comparing the two cases of Spain and Portugal to optimize services and resources in each country. I will use a longitudinal, mixed-method, multi-informant, comparative approach to achieve the research objectives. The quantitative phase will involve a 6- month longitudinal study, incorporating data from caregivers, adolescents, and administrative records. This will be complemented by in-depth interviews with adolescents and caregivers. The research outputs will have: 1) scientific impact, as they will enhance our understanding of adolescent development across alternative care settings; 2) social impact, as they will equip families and professionals with evidence-based resources for improving adolescents’ self-regulation and caregiver-youth relationships; and 3) economic impact, as they will contribute to the specialization of alternative care and the efficient use of resources. By enhancing my expertise through conceptual, methodological, and communication training, I will be better equipped to showcase my abilities in both academic and non-academic markets.
