Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP). Instituto de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas (IFCH) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
I hold a Bachelor's degree in History from the University of São Paulo (2003), a Master's degree in Social Anthropology from the same university (2006), and a Ph.D. in Social Sciences from the University of Campinas Unicamp (2010), with a postdoctoral fellowship at the Gender Studies Center Pagu/Unicamp. I have been a faculty member in the Department of Anthropology at the Institute of Philosophy and Human Sciences (IFCH) of Unicamp since 2014. Since 2015, I have taught and supervised students in the Graduate Programs in Social Anthropology (PPGAS) and Social Sciences (PPGCS) at Unicamp, with consistent involvement in undergraduate education and scientific initiation supervision.I was a visiting professor at Columbia University in New York (20222023) and at Universitat Jaume I (UJI) in Spain (2017). I served as a Fellow (20202023) in the Summer Program in Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton (USA). I have been a member of the Sérgio Vieira de Mello Chair/UNHCR at Unicamp since 2019 and of the Advisory Committee on Gender and Sexuality at Unicamp since 2021. I was associate coordinator of the Gender and Sexuality Committee of the Brazilian Anthropological Association (ABA) from 2017 to 2019 and remain an active member, also joining the Gender and Sexuality Committee of ANPOCS in 2025. I served as a member of the CAPES Evaluation Committee in the Sociology area (2021) and coordinated the Graduate Program in Social Sciences at IFCH/Unicamp from 2017 to 2019. In 2022, I led the Working Group responsible for implementing socio-economic criteria and affirmative action policies for scholarship distribution in the Graduate Program in Social Anthropology at IFCH/Unicamp. I have coordinated research projects funded by FAPESP, CAPES, and CNPq, focused on themes such as gender, sexuality, migration, and human rights.I have held a CNPq Research Productivity Fellowship Level 1-D since 2024. My research interests lie in the intersections of refuge, migration, gender, and sexuality, and their interconnections, with a focus on how categories and subjects are produced at the interfaces between the state, violence, and rights. The articulation between power, difference, and processes of subjectivation, particularly in relation to the production of borders and mobilities, has also remained a central concern throughout my career as a teacher and researcher.

Over the last few years, disputes, crises, and alliances in global geopolitics have brought about a progressive tightening of anti-immigration policies. Along the routes chosen for the displacement of Brazilians to the United States, such policies were implemented by means of restricting the granting of visas and the status of asylum seeker and refugee, increasing border detentions, and t…

This project aims at understanding the mobilities and transits that permeate the members of the recent LGBT + music scene in Brazil. In the first place, I intend to investigate how the artists of this scene contribute to the production of sexual subjectivities that both in and through popular music cross not only female and male corporalities, but also frontiers of class, race and geograp…
