Clara Isabel Serrano is an assistant professor at the Institute of Education, University of Lisbon (IE-UL), and an integrated researcher at the Research and Development Unit in Education and Training (UIDEF). Her work lies at the intersection of the history of education, history teaching, and memory studies, with a particular focus on textbooks, curriculum reforms, and the political and cultural uses of the past. Trained as a historian and specialised in education, she has published extensively on history education, European integration, authoritarian regimes, and colonial and post-colonial representations in school knowledge, taking Portugal as a case in point within comparative European and transnational perspectives. She is the author of Arte de falar e arte de estar calado: Augusto de Castro – Jornalismo e Diplomacia (Coimbra University Press, 2017), co-editor of Revolution and (Post)-War, 1917–1922 (Routledge, 2024), and, most recently, co-editor of National and Global Historical Perspectives on Textbooks: The Atlantic Connection (Palgrave Macmillan, 2026). She currently participates in the Horizon Europe action EU-CIEMBLY, where she is responsible for teacher training and the development of pedagogical tools for school-based Citizens’ Assemblies. Alongside her academic work, she contributes to public history initiatives, including the exhibition “Dictatorship, Revolution, Democracy”, marking the 50th anniversary of the Portuguese Carnation Revolution.
