I am a doctoral candidate in Sociology at Brown University. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Geography and Regional Planning from the New University of Lisbon and a Master's of Arts degree in Sociology from Brown University.
My research interests lie in the intersection of international migration, race and ethnicity, and urban spaces. More specifically, my current scholarship looks at how immigration-driven ethnoracial diversity shapes social (especially intergroup) interactions and attitudes; and at how race and racism influence the outcomes, experiences and social networks of international migrants.
My ongoing dissertation project looks at how race and racism matter for understanding the outcomes and migration processes of international migrants. Specifically, it examines how: ethnoracial identities are transformed during migration processes; race and racism shape the incorporation outcomes and the transnational networks of migrants; and how all these processes are shaped by differences in meso-level factors and macro-level contexts of racial formation and migrant reception. I focus on one ethnoracially diverse migrant group in two comparable metropolitan areas: Brazilians in Boston (United States) and Lisbon (Portugal).
Beyond the dissertation, I am currently working on two papers looking at the aspects influencing trust in neighbors and the establishment of interethnic contacts in twelve ethnically diverse neighborhoods located in four European cities: Bilbao, Spain; Lisbon, Portugal; Thessaloniki, Greece; and Vienna, Austria.
