| 2020/07/29 | “Non-extractive” epistemologies: ethnography as an anti-colonial strategy. The communication aims to discuss the challenges of carrying out scientific research and producing knowledge from an anti-colonial perspective with ethnography as a strategy. It appropriates the debates surrounding "epistemic extraction", which considers extraction to be a characteristic of societies formed in the logic of imperialism, capitalism, colonialism and patriarchy that extends to knowledge and modern science. | 6th International Congress of Anthropology AIBR

| 2019/09/14 | "(In) humanity in Modernity: the effects of global racialization and its colonial roots". This communication set out to reflect critically on societal constructions in contemporary times based on social hierarchies that define the areas of “being” and “not being” and which are configured on the basis of the accumulation of structured capital in the dehumanized workforce. It relied on the interdisciplinary dialogical perspective as a source of analytical expansion, believing in contamination at its borders to build new models and hypotheses. | ESPAnet Portugal Conference 2019.

| 2019/07/24 | "Modernity / Coloniality: erased and resistent voices in Minas Gerais". This oral presentation was supported by the doctoral research (2014-2018) entitled: "From village of Bichinho to Vitoriano Veloso: the artisanal confection of the identity narratives of a village in Minas Gerais in Brazil". It sought to reflect on the reconstruction and restitution of silenced stories, having the subordinate knowledge as the locus of enunciation to identify the cracks between the colonial and decolonial discourses from which identities emerge. | MLA International Symposium Remembering Voices Lost

| 2019/06/05 | "No epistemic extraction: ethnography as an anti-colonial strategy". He reflected on the challenges of carrying out scientific research and producing knowledge from an anti-colonial perspective with ethnography as a strategy. He considered that extraction, a characteristic of societies formed in the logic of imperialism, capitalism, colonialism and patriarchy, extends to knowledge and modern science. Thus, he considered that the alternative to epistemic extraction is reciprocity in the relationships established between the researcher and the subject | APA - VII Portuguese Association of Anthropology Congress

| 2018/07 | "The historical invisibility of the resistance of women in Minas Gerais". The communication reflected on the trajectory of women in Minas Gerais and on the imaginary of submission and passivity that marked their presence in the history of Brazil. It addressed the determinants of the Eurocentric and patriarchal context at the heart of the great absence of women, not only in Minas Gerais historiography. It showed how they opposed the strength of their resistance and persistent ability to define new roles, in an attitude of daily resistance. | XXXVI International Congress of LASA

|
| 2018/01/10 | "The Nossa Senhora da Penha de França party's: colonialism and decoloniality in the daily life of a village in Minas Gerais". Based on the ethnographic research developed at the doctorate, the author reflected on the externalization of devotion at the religious party. Transiting between the sacred and the profane, it presents popular catholicism, marked by the precariousness of evangelization and devotional and protective hypertrophy, as colonial religiosity not in a passive way, merely receptive and reproductive of the European model. | Penser les commémorations comme des espaces de pratiques ritualisées au croisement d’une approche historique et anthropologique

|
| 2017/11/03 | "Women: a history of resistance in Minas Gerais". The communication addressed the historical invisibility of real women under the stereotype of patriarchal construction, configuring themselves as modes of subalternation and of extinguishing the voice. Supported by sources and historiography about the colonial period, it reflected on the participation, in no way passive, of free women, slaves or women in the organization of mining society and the resistance strategies used to live, achieve freedom and, eventually, economic growth. | VI CONINTER - International Interdisciplinary Congress os Social and Humanities

|
| 2017/11/03 | "Interdisciplinarity as a contribution to critical theory: subordinate subjects and epistemological protagonism". From the post-colonial critique, the communication reflected on the methodologies that privilege other voices, subjectivities and perspectives, mainly the theoretical and social proposals that start from the testimony and experience of marginality, subordination and subjugation and the new political subjects to propose a new discursive authority and cultural representation supported by interdisciplinarity. | VI CONINTER - International Interdisciplinary Congress os Social and Humanities

| 2016/10/21 | “And Dona Maria said so ...: sexuality in everyday discourse as an expression of subversion". The communication was based on fragments of a dialogue between the researcher and a group of women during the field research in 2015. She analyzed everyday life as a practice that subverts conceptual parameters that understand it as routines or regularities and emphasized the inherent character of disputes and ruptures.The dialogue showed an exercise of freedom and sexuality exercised in a patriarchal context. | 2nd International Colloquium of Masters and PhD Students in Feminist Studies / Gender Studies / Studies on Women "We must

| 2016/05/24 | "Unexpected hopes: Vitoriano Veloso, between the colonial and the decolonial". The presentation shows in perspective the importance of the research field and its historical and daily nuances, the epistemologies as foundations for reflection and the researcher as the very territory in which these dialogues between diverse and distinct realities, cultures, knowledge and people are established, translating into a praxis of humanity where hope is not just pure stubbornness, but an existential and historical imperative. | I International PhD Research Exhibition at the University of Coimbra 2017

| 2016/05/06 | "The Decolonial perspective of Paulo Freire's thought". It analyzes Freirean thought as a pedagogical proposal in the 20th century in contrast to the domination processes inaugurated in Latin America after its ‘discovery’. It reaffirms the currentness of thought as an epistemological reference for the construction of a liberating praxis and its articulation with Decolonial Reflection to promote a dialogue that enables the dialogue between the educational / political / organizational proposals and the emancipation of the Eurocentric mirror. | International Conference on Paulo Freire 2016

|
| 2016/05/04 | "Decolonial memories of the artisans of Vitoriano Veloso from Minas Gerais do Brasil".

It relied on the residents' narrative and daily life to reflect on the meanings, beliefs, values and attitudes and to problematize about identity games, the tensions of power in the colonial relationship and the constitution of subordinate identities. | XXXVIII International Congress of Americanistics

| 2015/12/08 | "Modernity, Decoloniality and Popular Education: perspectives on Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of Hope".
