Dr. Pilar Luz Rodrigues is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Moore Institute for Research in the Humanities and Social Studies, of the University of Galway.
Previously, she was as a Research Assistant at the South East Technological University (SETU), working with the Dean of the School of Humanities on social and health related research projects.

Dr. Rodrigues concluded her PhD in Sociology in 2023, under the President's Scholarship, with a thesis titled 'Mitigating the Effects of Precarity: Brazilian Migrant Workers and Place-Making in Rural Ireland'. Her research involved one year and a half of fieldwork with Brazilian migrant workers in rural Ireland, particularly in Gort, Ireland's Little Brazil. She is currently working on the Irish Research Council (IRC) funded project 'Rural Villages, Migration and Intercultural Communication'. The study seeks to understand the linguistic background and the experience of migrants and refugees living in rural communities in Ireland, as well as how they use different languages in their daily lives. It also investigates any obstacles or opportunities in learning English and/or Irish in the community.
She has recently been awarded funding from the Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Fund of the South East Technological University (SETU), for the project 'Understanding Race Equality in the South East'.
