Dr. Sánchez-Fuarros is a Ramón y Cajal senior postdoctoral researcher at the Incipit since May 2020, after working as a staff researcher at the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa (February 2019-April 2020). Previously, he has been a research fellow (2017) and visiting researcher (2018) at Queens University Belfast; visiting researcher at the INET-md (NOVA FCSH) (2018), and postdoctoral research fellow at the same institution (2011-2013 and 2014-2016). As FPU doctoral fellow at the Institució Milà i Fontanals (Spanish National Research Council, 2003-2008), he obtained his PhD in anthropology from the University of Barcelona in 2008. His academic career has focused on the study of music as a social and cultural phenomenon in urban settings, combining anthropological and musicological approaches. His pioneered research on music and migration contributed to expand the emerging field of Spanish urban ethnomusicology. Most recently, he has been investigating the role of sound and music in urban renewal projects, with a particular focus on gentrification, turistification and heritagization processes. He is currently the Principal Investigator of a 3-year project (2018-2021) funded by the Portuguese Research Council (FCT) through a SR&TD Project Grant (PTDC/ART-PER/32417/2017). This aim of this project is to understand the impact of tourism on Lisbon's everyday urban sound environments, assessing the negative impact of tourism on the sustainability of local communities. At the Incipit he contributes to the research line Interdisciplinary Cultural Heritage Studies, particularly on the themes “Socioeconomics of Cultural Heritage” and “Heritagization Processes: Memory, Power and Ethnicity”. The dissemination of the results of his research has built up growing international visibility of his work. He has published one monograph, various articles in national and international peer-reviewed journals (TRANS-Revista Transcultural de Música, Western Folklore, Revista d'Etnologia de Catalunya, MUSICultures, Transactions, City & Community, etc.), as well as several book chapters, in English, Spanish and Portuguese. He has shared outputs of his research in events, workshops and conferences worldwide such as SEM (USA), EASA (France), ICTM (China), SIBE (Spain), MUEI (Chile), etc. He has presented seminars and courses in several national and international institutions, for example in Spain (INCIPIT, UB, UPV, etc.), Germany (Centre Marc Bloch), France (CNRS/FMSH), UK (Institute of Latin American Studies), Mozambique (Universidade Eduardo Modlean), or Portugal (NOVA FCSH, UAV, UAb, etc). Dr. Sánchez-Fuarros has extensive experience in the organization and management of research activities. From 2006 to 2016 he was a board member of the SIBE-Spanish Society for Ethnomusicology.
