Nota biográfica
Patrícia Alves de Matos is an economic anthropologist trained in Lisbon and London. She is currently a Senior Researcher at CRIA–ISCTE-IUL, leading the project “Everyday Worlds of Welfare: A Comparative Study of Human Needs, Livelihood Sustainability and Social Policy in Southern Europe”, funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology. This project adopts a comparative, bottom-up perspective on human welfare calculus and sustainability, foregrounding the theoretical importance of the concept of 'everyday worlds of welfare'. She also serves as an Auxiliary Invited Lecturer in the Department of Anthropology at FCSH, New University of Lisbon. Her research explores themes such as neoliberalism, precarity, and labour; gender, body politics, and social reproduction; and austerity, welfare, human needs, and moralities of distribution. Her monograph, "Disciplined Agency: Neoliberal Precarity, Generational Dispossession and Call Centre Labour in Portugal", was published by Manchester University Press in July 2020. Together with Antonio Maria Pusceddu, she is currently co-editing a volume titled "Distributed Agency: Rethinking a Radical Concept for Challenging Times", which is under editorial review.
