Marta holds a degree in Anthropology from NOVA University Lisbon and a Master’s in Applied Cultural Analysis from the University of Copenhagen. Since 2015, she has been engaged in work with refugees, including roles at a community support centre for refugees and asylum seekers in Copenhagen, a refugee reception centre in Lisbon, and through academic research conducted in both Denmark and Portugal. Her current research interests focus on the ways in which refugees engage with and utilize digital technologies, as well as on the policies of reception and integration of refugees in Portugal, examined from both the perspective of the state and that of the refugees themselves. She is a doctoral fellow funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) for the project “Identity, Emotions, and Well-being: Experiences of Reception and Integration Processes among Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Portugal” (2021.08196.BD).
