I have been working on community-based participatory research with historically marginalised communities in the Global South, specifically in the North in the Amazon region and the Northeast of Brazil.

My research interests centre on the intersectional production of decolonial knowledge with indigenous, black and quilombola populations. The results of participatory research will impact the development of better public policies, the fundamental social transformation of colonial Western societies and the reduction of hierarchies between the Global North and South.

Currently, I have been working as a researcher in the Synthesis for Policies in Amazonia (SynPAm). In this research, we develop participatory methodologies with different stakeholders to improve conservation policies and tackle the impacts of climate change on the Amazon territory. In this way, we hope that by liaising with public policies, science and social movements (indigenous peoples, riverine communities, quilombolas), we can bridge the gap between science and society to preserve and conserve the Amazon.
