My scientific and professional career has been built between the Portuguese and Brazilian territories, fuelling and enabling me to get closer to two different and complementary academic and professional axes - the European and the Latin American. I graduated from the Federal University of Bahia in 1996, with a degree in Museology. Still in 1996, I moved to Portugal to take a 2-year postgraduate specialisation course in Social Museology at U. Lusófona. Later, in the same university, I went on to study for a master's degree in Museology, completing the 2nd cycle of studies in 2000 with a dissertation that sought to understand the relationship between Ecomuseology and its influences on Local Museology in Portugal. I did my PhD in Education Sciences at U. Portucalense, defending a research project on the impacts of the application of the EU Culture Operational Programme in the field of museology and museums in Portugal. Since 2000, I have been a university lecturer in the Department of Museology at U. Lusófona, having been vice-director of the Master's in Museology between 2001 and 2007, and Director of the Department between 2007 and 2019, as well as coordinating the Master's and PhD in Museology during this period. In 2015, I began coordinating the team to create a UNESCO Chair, and I've been coordinating a team with the aim of creating a UNESCO Chair since 2018. My goals were to consolidate research in the area of Museology at U. Lusófona, reformulating the master's programme and raising the level of academic and scientific excellence by creating a doctoral programme focused on issues of Sociomuseology. In 2019, I was awarded as Principal researcher by the FCT Individual Scientific Employment Program - CEECIND/ 04717/2017 (2019-2025), developing the Sociomuseology Theory and Practice Project. This project, in association with the UNESCO Chair, has allowed me to work in partnership with professionals, students, researchers and communities who work in educational and museological processes based on dialogue, horizontality in research practices, teaching and the musealisation of heritage and collective memories. I have created 3 permanent Seminars involving professors, PhD candidates and master's students from the Museology Department and open to the civil society, which have allowed us to establish and strengthen exchanges with professionals and researchers from Europe, Latin America and Africa. I'm PI of the AGRRIN Project (2023-2025) - Generative bodies: from aggression to the insurgency. Contributions to a decolonial pedagogy, financed by the FCT, dealing with racialisation processes, using the Portuguese territory as a field of analysis and research. We start from an understanding of education in its decolonial dimension and how it can promote processes that allow inequalities to be overcome, promoting a critical understanding of social reality, assuming the importance of the full co-participation of collectives, groups and associations of black, African and Afro-Portuguese people. AGRRIN has developed public science methodologies in conjunction with various collectives. The main objective of developing my work has been to contribute to the strengthening of the Sociomuseology School of Thought that embraces new approaches to community museology, inspired by dialogical methodologies and processes of reciprocity of knowledge between academia, schools, museums and civil society. I have published 20 articles in specialized journals, 12 book chapters and 6 books. Organized 100 events. Participated in 107 events. Supervised 27 doctoral theses and co-supervised 4. Supervised 3 master's theses and co-supervised 3. Received 5 awards and/or honors. I have participated as a researcher in 13 projects and I'm currently the responsible researcher in the AGRRIN Project, which works in the areas of Social Sciences, with emphasis in 'everyday racism'.
