Social anthropologist (PhD 2003, Nova University of Lisbon). Main research interests: industrial work and workers, technology and materiality in production settings, class, inequality and consent making, and social reproduction. I also focus on the history of sponsored, industrial film in the Portuguese XXth century industrialization, as well as on the history of the Portuguese glass industry and glassworkers (XVIII-XX) and on local history and social memory themes. -- I am a researcher with CRIA (Centre for Research in Anthropology, ISCTE-IUL, Lisbon) and the Institute for Contemporary History (IHC / Nova University of Lisbon). I serve as an Editorial Board member to Etnográfica, Lusopen Edition and Etnográfica Press. Before PhD, I have held an invited assistant lecturer position with the Anthropology department at NOVA FCSH (Lisbon). -- My PhD research focused on labour and technology in industrial work settings. It uncovered, detailed and theorized (namely through a 'social uses of materiality' perspective) the workers skill- and technology-based quest for qualification and dignity on the shop floor in the automated glass container production. It also traced these processes back across the industry's mechanization path starting in the 1930s. Among other publications (at times interwoven with my previous and continuous work on the history of the Portuguese glass industry and glassworkers), a peer-reviewed monograph selected in the frame of a call from the Gulbenkian Foundation, resulted form this research. -- Still focusing on labour and materiality, I developed a post-doc research (hosted by CRIA-IUL, Lisbon, and supported by a FCT grant) on the work and consumption nexus among former industrial women workers. Challenging the often intertwined ideas of the end of work and the development of a free-floating 'consumer', this research has highlighted work as a key contextualizing frame for the working person as a consumer, and of consumption as a relevant arena where to perform the material and symbolic value of work. Among the publications and presentatioins (plus an unpublished report) issuing from this work, I have co-edited a special number of Etnográfica, and convened, together with colleagues, a panel on work and consumption at EASA 2012. I have also initiated and convened, with colleagues, the 2009-2013 Lisbon Consumption Seminar Series, hosting talks by leading scholars in the fields of sociology of consumption and economic anthropology. -- My interest on industry and labour has also unfolded into an approach to sponsored, industrial film, since participating as a researcher in the Work on screen project (PI L Veloso (CIES) PTDC/IVC-SOC/3941/2012). I coordinated a research task on work memories and corporate film reception, participated in film analysis and contextualization, and did extensive historiographical research and writing. This included, among others, an oral presentation to the Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut Berlin 2017 Forschungskolloquium (as an IAI visiting scholar), three chapters in the project¿s final book (two in co-authorship) and an international journal article. These works tackle the sponsored, industrial film of the Portuguese dictatorship period from the joint point of view of industrial history and anthropology of work, also mobilizing key concepts from memory studies to approach these films' reception. -- As a researcher and as a citizen I attach the greatest importance to scientific dissemination. I have developed numerous publications and oral presentations aimed at the general public, often in response to invitations from local institutions, unions or other associations, including a co-authored book on the workers' uprising of January 18, 1934. --Mostly due to personal options regarding civic and family life, I have been following an at times unconventional scholarly path, while chiefly pursuing relevance and quality in my research work.
