Academic Research

Doctoral Research

In my PhD research, I investigate women’s oral stories of their experiences as artists living under the most recent Brazilian dictatorship (1964-1985). I draw on oral sources to better understand past human rights abuses in totalitarian regimes. Additionaly, my research brings to the fore women’s perspectives of their participation in historical events and art movements.

Teaching Experience

As a teaching assistant, I have more than six years of experience teaching technical writing to students at the Gina Cody School of Engineering (Concordia University). I also led workshops for GradProSkills, helping graduate students to build their websites using WordPress.
