This proposal seeks to conduct a theoretical and speculative research exercise that aims to understand how artistic, poetic and critical, anti-colonial practices can ethically, epistemologically, and politically challenge Brazilian public health and contribute to rethinking it. To this end, we will base or work on the anti-colonial artistic works (poetic and literary writings, and films) …
After breast cancer treatment, many patients experience changes in their body image, associated with both anatomical and emotional factors. They often feel "empty" or "incomplete" as women due to the loss of culturally marked elements of femininity, such as breasts and hair. As a result, they seek new ways to live with their transformed bodies and to manage the impacts on their sexuality,…

Psychological violence is defined as acts or omissions that cause, or have the potential to cause, harm to a woman's self-esteem, identity, or development. This phenomenon…
Asian-Brazilian feminism emerged in 2016 with the aim of creating a space for political expression for Asian women, intersecting gender with racial issues. This movement allows us to think about the experiences of cisgender women of East Asian descent and how these experiences impact the construction of their identities. Asian-Brazilian feminist activism has solidified itself mainly throu…
Census data regarding access to Brazilian healthcare services indicate that access to and utilization of healthcare services are influenced by gender relations and other social indicators, such as race and class.

Gender inequalities remain a persistent challenge in Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI), despite decades of political and institutional efforts. Global data show that women represent only about one third of the scientific community, with even lower participation in STEM fields such as physics, engineering, and computer science. Beyond numerical underrepresentation, structural, inst…

English language authors as well as Portuguese authors are important presences in her library. The intertextuality between Cesar and Portu…
This research investigates how and which affirmative and inclusion actions can reduce gender inequality in academic career progression - the "gender leaky pipeline" effect (Cronin & Roger, 1999). Grounded in data from the University of São Paulo (USP) collected during the Master's research to which this project is linked, where men showed faster academic progression than women, here it is…

This research project aims to investigate three distinct types of moral judgments (evaluation, norm judgme…
Sexual harassment is characterized by unwanted or rejected libidinous advances, whether persistent or episodic, capable of violating the victim's sexual freedom and depriving them of dignity. The workplace has proven to be a prevalent setting for this practice, which is why mechanisms to combat sexual harassment have emerged in various countries to minimize this cycle of violence. Given t…
