Sheila Khan | She is a sociologist, and currently a researcher at the Center for Communication and Society Studies at the University of Minho. She hold a PhD in Ethnic and Cultural Studies from the University of Warwick, she has focused on post- colonial studies in her academic career, with a special focus on relations between Mozambique and Portugal, including the issue of Mozambican immigrants in Portugal. Among the themes she has worked on are contemporary Mozambican and Portuguese history and literature, narratives of life and identity from the global South, authorities of memory and post-memory. Her recent books, "Portugal a Lápis de Cor: A Sul de uma pós-colonialidade" (Almedina, 2015); "Visitas a João Paulo Borges Coelho: leituras, diálogos e futuros" (et al., 2017, Colibri); "Mozambique on the Move: Challenges and Reflections" (with Paula Meneses and Bjorn Bertelsen, Brill, 2018). She is currently a postdoc researcher on the project funded by the European Research Council, EXCHANGE. Her current research focus is inspired by the following motifs: to understand how the transnational sharing of DNA data and forensic genetic technologies may interfere with the social and political construction of citizenship, democracy and security regarding the presence of the Other as the post-colonial immigrant and as the illegal immigrant; and to critically explore if collective memory of former colonial countries (The Netherlands, United Kingdom and Portugal) may influence the debates on civic consciousness and human rights with regard to the use of DNA data for social control and surveillance. Her most recent book will be published by Routledge, with Nazir Can and Helena Machado, "Racism and Racial Surveillance. Modernity Matters" (2020).
