I am a Junior Researcher at the Institute of Social Sciences, University of Lisbon (ICS-ULisboa); member of the Research Group SHIFT - Environment, Territory and Society, and co-convener of the UTH - Urban Transitions Hub, both based at ICS-ULisboa. Within this institutional frame I've been conducting research on the changing humans-nature relationship underlying the challenges of the Anthropocene, addressing the limitations of global environmental change and urban agendas in coping with those challenges. I've done that specifically by researching the potential of overlooked epistemologies and underexplored imaginaries, within and beyond formal institutions of knowledge production.
