Two B.As, one in Cinema (ESTC) and another in Languages, Literatures and Cultures (FLUL), with a major in English Studies. M.A in General Linguistics (FLUL), with a thesis titled “Tóri di Babel: humor e língua na literatura em crioulo de Macau” (Tóri di Babel: Humour and language in Macanese Creole Literature); ongoing PhD in Culture Studies (FCH-UCP), with a thesis with the provisory title "The Ramaya¿a and the Idea of India: Space, Time and Society (2010-2020)". In 2020, I have received a scholarship attributed by the Correia de Lacerda Institute, for which I have been revising and updating Sebastião Rodolfo Dalgado's (1919) Glossário Luso-Asiático, a glossary which collects Asian words used in historical documents from Portugal. I have a keen interest on language, mainly from the Asian continent. I have studied Hindi in the Central Hindi Institute (Agra), Persian in the Allameh Tabata’i University (Tehran) and Russian in the Moscow State University (Moscow). Besides, I have also studied or am still studying other languages in Portugal: French, English, Arabic, Turkish, Eastern Armenian, Indonesian, Chinese Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese. I have also studied the grammar and the morphology of other languages as an autodidact. My main area of interests involve traditional narratives in Asia and their relationship with identity issues, which leads me to study issues such as: post-colonial studies, orientalism, nationalistic studies, memory studies, linguistics, religious studies, sociology, literature, film, music and the visual arts in Asia.
