Undesired Immigration and Its Conflicting Demands", funded by FAPESP (Grant No. 2019/18523-6) and affiliated with the Department of Political Science at the University of Campinas, she investigated the normative challenges arising from encounters between undesirable migrants and democratic political authorities.Currently, as a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Political Science at Unicamp, she is developing the research project "Undesirable Immigration and the Rise of New Nationalisms What Does Political Theory Have to Say?", funded by CAPES.
