Marta Martins holds a PhD in Sociology (2020) from the Institute of Social Sciences, University of Minho, Braga, Portugal. She is currently a contract substitute professor in Sociology at the University of Salamanca (USAL, Spain). Additionally, she is a research assistant in the Department of Sociology and Communication at the University of Salamanca, where she is engaged in research related to the sociology of crime, specifically focusing on the representation of crime in the media by young people views. Furthermore, she was a teacher for EFA (Education and Training for Adults) classes focused on social inequality and media related to the voices of young people. In 2022, she was a postdoctoral researcher on the YouNDigital project—Young People, News, and Digital Citizenship (PTDC/COM-OUT/0243/2021). She has been involved in both national and international funded research projects. In 2023, she was part of the technical team as a sociologist for the Católica In! Innovating to Include project, supported by “Skills 4 Post-COVID - Skills for the Future in Higher Education” (POCH-02-53I2-FSE-000026). Between 2015 and 2020 (6 years), she was a researcher on a project funded by the European Research Council (ref. 648608), during which she developed her doctoral thesis. Among her publications is the book Transnational Criminal Cases: Media Narratives About the Use of DNA Technologies (Húmus, 2021). She has participated in over three dozen conferences and has extensive experience in co-organizing scientific events, workshops, and training courses on social transformation, digital innovation, social exclusion, media, social control, (in)security, and cross-border criminalization.
