I do critical postdisciplinary research in tourism, from a humble posthumanist perspective. Having travelled and lived in different countries for work, research, study and volunteering, I am now a PhD candidate/fellow in Tourism at the Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning of the University of Lisbon (IGOT-ULisboa), and a researcher of the TERRITUR Research Group (Tourism, Heritage and Space), at its R&D Unit, the Centre of Geographical Studies (CEG), and of the Associate Laboratory TERRA. I hold a Master's degree in Planning and Management of Tourism Systems and two Bachelor's degrees in: i) Tourism Management and Development; and ii) Geography and Planning. I have been an Erasmus student and trainee in Portugal, at the University of Aveiro and the I.P. Turismo de Portugal in Lisbon - investigating the overtourism phenomenon - and in France, at the University Paris X Nanterre - investigating the Italian women’s migration to the Paris region in the 20th century. Currently, my research inquires into collaborative governance potential as a mechanism to enable different tourism futures i.e. not aligned with dominant anthropocentric and growth-dependent tourism paradigms. Italian is my mother tongue, but I am proficient in three other languages (English, Portuguese and French), and independent in Spanish.
