Lis Furlani Blanco

I have a bachelor degree in Social Sciences at the State University of Campinas (Unicamp), where I also had my master degree in Social Anthropology at the Social Anthropology Graduate Program. I have done an academic interchange at the University of Lund, Sweden and during my master course I was also a visiting researcher at the Food Observatory (Odela) at the University of Barcelona, Spain.During my academic trajectory I have participated in different research projects related to the theme of Labour and Labour Flexibilization, but also Poverty and Development and Food in a context of precarity. I am member of the Editorial Board of the PROA Magazine and I have been an intern at the Teaching Internship Program at Unicamp in which I have been teaching Science, Technology and Society to the Engineering Courses and in which I was also a tutor at the Introduction of Anthropology course. Additionally to the academic experiences, I have working experiences in NGOs related to development programs and housing assistance.I have a PhD on Social Anthropology. With a scholarship on the theme of public policies and more specifically public policies related to Food, Hunger and Food Security, aiming thus to comprehend the interactions between people, politics, and objects. I have been developing an ethnography of the Food Security policies throughout the analysis of the trajectory of the Hunger Zero Program in Brazil. Going through thetechnpolitical knowledge interwoven on the creation of these public policies, it is the objective of my research to understand how hunger is enacted and, in this process, it creates subjects and puts into circulation important categories such as rights, assistance, vulnerability, social welfare, but also the definition and the enactment of State itself.
