Otávio Raposo graduated in sociology at Nova University Lisbon and holds a PhD in anthropology from the University Institute of Lisbon(ISCTE-IUL). He was a visiting scholar in the United States of America(University of Massachusetts and Brown University) and Brazil(University of São Paulo and Federal University of Rio de Janeiro), conducting fieldwork in 8 different cities, including: Lisbon, Porto, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Boston. Since 2014, he has been an integrated researcher at the Centre for Research and Studies in Sociology(CIES-IUL) and an invited professor at ISCTE-IUL, where he teaches Childhood and Youth: Transdisciplinary Perspectives, African Diaspora, Migration and Rights and Urban Studies Issues, having also taught Multiculturality and Field Research in previous years. As a result of this rich teaching activity, he has supervised 10 master's students(4 completed) and 2 PhD students, and participated as board member of 3 doctorate and 5 master's degrees. His research over the last decade has been centred on four different topics, with ethnography as the main approach: 1)youth culture and arts: hip hop, lifestyles and creativity; 2)urban studies: marginalised neighbourhoods, social inequalities, urban segregation and public policies; 3)race and ethnicity: migration, racism, identities and youth of African descent; 4)visual methodologies: ethnographic films, social photography and video. In 2013 Otávio Raposo concluded his PhD in anthropology at ISCTE-IUL focusing on youth cultures and urban segregation in Rio de Janeiros favelas, resulting in seven articles published in top-rated international journals. One year later, he was granted a post-doctoral fellowship to study artistic expressions and citizen participation of young people from Lisbons outskirts. This was very innovative research in which he considered arts, citizenship and youth cultures as important determinants for urban changes. Alongside this, he co-coordinated the project The work of art and the art of work: creative paths of training and labour inclusion of immigrants in Portugal, funded by the European Commission(2014-15). Following this, he joined ISCTE-IUL as a hired researcher in 2018, when he incorporated the dimension of public policies through the ART POLICIES project. His experience in 3 research groups (Localways, ArtCitizenship and HOPES) was fundamental for his analytical refocusing on the relationship between creativity and public policies. As a result of this new scope, he published several papers in top-rated international journals, such as the Journal of Contemporary Ethnography, Social Inclusion, and Cultural Dynamics. His wealth of research experience gave rise to the Pericreativity(2022.08993.PTDC), in which he is the principal coordinator. This FCT R&D project aims to provide a significant step forward in youth policies and worldwide. In addition, he is co-founder of ETNO.URB, an important international network of researchers in urban ethnography, and also participates in other multi-disciplinary networks: GEAC, RAIU, LXNIGHT, and Afroeurope@s. He has produced a total of 31 scientific publications, of which 22 were in highly renowned internationally journals. His publication track record also includes 16 book chapters and 3 edited books, such as The work of art and the art of work: creative paths of immigrants artists(2016) and Urban Artistic Expressions: ethnography and creativity in Atlantic spaces(2015). He has presented his research at more than 100 national and international conferences and symposiums, and has co-organized international conferences, such as the 7th Biennial Afroeuropeans Network Conference: Black In/Visibilities Contested(2019). He has made 5 ethnographic films, including Nu Bai. Lisbons black rap(2007) and At the Quinta with Kally(2019), winner at the Póvoa de Varzim International Video Musical Festival and best ethnographic film of the Portuguese Anthropological Association in 2018/2019, respectively.
