Research interests
My research interests are Contemporary Brazilian Literature, Latin American Literature, Minority Writing, Memory, Translation Studies, Lyricism in Prose and Poetry. I teach in these areas of interest and also Portuguese Language.
Before joining the University of Bristol, I taught at the University of Edinburgh, Aston University and King's College London, where I completed my PhD in Portuguese and Brazilian Studies. My doctoral research investigated lyrical writing in Brazilian novels, analysing lyrical narrative in comparison to the predominant social realist mode in literary art. The results are published in the book Lyricism in the Brazilian Novel (2022, by Peter Lang Verlag).
For King's College London I also started a project as a Research Associate on the interface in contemporary Brazil between cultural policies of social exclusion, struggles for human rights and recent marginalised writing movements, a research work that continues to this day. In 2020 as a Visiting Research Associate I developed a study for the University of Exeter on issues of Black female memory, mobility and the African diaspora in the Brown (i.e. Portuguese-speaking) Atlantic, as holder of the Memory Residency in the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures. This work was conduct with Dr Ana Margarida Dias Martins, principal investigator of the AHRC-funded project 'Women of the Brown Atlantic: Real and Imaginary Passages in Portuguese, 1711-2011'.
In translation, I participated in the Project 'Transnationalities: Literature, Translation Processes and Education' from 2015 to 2019, a joint project involving King's College London and the Federal Institute of Science, Education and Technology of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) that concerned the formation of Portuguese translators and the translation of contemporary Brazilian authors using digital methods. I also collaborated with the BBC World Service as a researcher and translator for the BBC Africa Eye documentary series. I currently work in translation supervision for the University of Edinburgh's Art in Translation magazine.
I am also a creative writer in poetry and short stories, having published poetry collections, as well as works in specialised magazines and anthologies, in Brazil, the United Kingdom and the United States.
