I'm a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate working mainly on Latin American and Luso-Brazilian Literature and anthropodecentric theory.

My research investigates the theme of altered states of consciousness in fiction and poetry from the South Atlantic, especially in the 19th and 20th centuries in Brazil.

In the DLCL, I am also a Graduate Student Coordinator at , a Research Unit on Latin Americanist and comparative post-anthropocentrisms, and at the Marxisms Reading Group.
