I am currently an Associate Professor in the Department of History, Arts and Humanities (DHAH) at the Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa (UAL). In 2022, I have joined the team of the CIDEHUS unit at the UAL (CIDEHUS.UAL). In 2003, I defended my PhD thesis in History at the Université Lyon 2 (France). In 2004, I received a post-doctoral fellowship from the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) and joined the Centre for Contemporary History Studies at the ISCTE - Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (ISCTE-IUL). In 2008, as part of the international competition Commitment to Science 2007 / FCT, I was awarded a research assistant position at the Centre for Research in Anthropology (CRIA) with a five-year contract. I started teaching in 2005, during my postdoctoral studies. In 2010, I was invited to join the History Department of the ISCTE-IUL as a lecturer, and since then I have been teaching at the first, second and third cycle levels. In 2018, following an international competition, I was hired as an assistant professor at the DHAH of the UAL. In the last decade, I've done several stays in foreign universities, among which I can highlight two funded positions: 1) Visiting Professor at the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (Brazil, 2013); 2) Visiting Researcher at the Centre for Portuguese Studies and Culture (UMass Dartmouth, USA, 2015). Between 2005 and 2024, I was part of the team of four international projects (two of them as national coordinator and WP leader) and seven national projects (one of them as co-PI), all funded by international calls (FCT, UNESCO, H2020). I have held coordinating positions: member of the board of the journal Ler História (2014-2019); member of the board of CRIA (2016-2020); director of the DHAH at UAL since December 2020. My scientific career has been in the field of contemporary social history (19th and 20th centuries), with a clear interdisciplinary dimension (urban anthropology, urban and leisure sociology, tourism studies, cinema studies).
