Biographical Note

Anthropologist and activist with a Degree in Anthropology (2017) and Master in Social and Cultural Anthropology (2021) through University of Coimbra, with the scientific dissertation: "For the Right to the Future: Youth and Political Participation in the Student Climate Strike in Coimbra". It is a research into the political participation and politicization processes of youth, based on the activist experience in this environmental social movement. These participation experiences, along with other agents and institutions, are presented as important catalysts of these processes, countering the hegemonic characterization of youth as disinterested in politics. His research interests are mainly related to social movements, youth political participation, climate change, globalization and social networks.
