Livia Cangiano Antipon

I am a substitute lecturer at the Federal University of Maranhão (Center for Human Sciences/Department of Geosciences) and a faculty member of the National Program for the Training of Basic Education Teachers (PARFOR-Maranhão). I hold a Ph.D. (2024) in Geography from the University of Campinas (Unicamp-Fapesp), where I also earned my M.A. (2017), B.A. (2014), and teaching degree (2013) in Geography. During my doctoral studies, I was a Visiting Scholar at the City University of New York Graduate Center, in the Center for Place, Culture and Politics (20222023, BEPE-Fapesp), and at the University of Cape Town, in the African Centre for Cities (2024, Fapesp). During my master's degree (CAPES scholarship), I completed a technical visit to the Observatori de l'Alimentació (ODELA) at the Universitat de Barcelona (2016). As an undergraduate, I undertook an academic internship at the Université Paris Diderot Paris VII, at the Institut de Géographie, Histoire, Sciences de la Société (2012). From 2018 to 2022, I participated in the Amazon Academic Cooperation Project (PROCAD Unicamp-UEMA-UFPA), during which I carried out various research and teaching activities at the State University of Maranhão (UEMA). I also taught at the basic education level in schools in the state of São Paulo (20092019) and, in higher education, served as a lecturer in the Programa Ensinar at UEMA (2021). My current research interests include Economic, Political, and Urban Geography, with an emphasis on studies related to the theory of the two circuits of the urban economy, abolition geography, hunger, and movements advocating for the right to food in peripheral metropolises. I am the coauthor of the book Fome e Assistência Alimentar na Pandemia (Paulus Publishing, 2022). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
