I'm a PhD candidate at the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities (Nova FCSH), in association with the University Institute of Lisbon (ISCTE). My research project addresses the everyday politics of participatory development policies in marginal urban communities of Lisbon. I'm primarily interested in State-society relations, policy analysis, political and urban anthropology. At the same time, I'm an assistant project manager at Clube Intercultural Europeu for community development and EU-funded projects.
