Professor, University of Porto

Psychology and Education Science

I am a Professor of Educational Sciences, teaching in areas of Educational research, Educational and community intervention, Political education and Political psychology.  My research focus on citizenship education in formal and non-formal education (including community artistic practices), and civic and political participation of children, young people and adults, especially those people in risk of exclusion (based on gender, sexual orientation, disability, literacy, chronic disease). The goal is to explore if and how these experiences can generate more complex ways of relationship with the political. More recent interests relate to doctoral education and university social responsibility as a way to explore how universities can creatively and proactively respond to societal challenges.
