About
In my research I am interested in the intersectional agency of racially privileged young feminist activists from São Paulo (Brazil). Relying on a phenomenological methodology, I hope to understand how, in the context of opposite positions in power relations, intersectional agency is experienced, negotiated, mobilised and (re)produced by the individual who aims at social change.
• Thematic interest: young feminist activism and ideology, gender, race, generational relations, sexuality
• Theoretical interest:

- Concepts: agency, action and (what I call) inaction, causation, self, experience, consciousness and conscientisation, hegemony, doxa and common sense, ideology
• Methodological interest: phenomenology and action research
• Epistemological interest: standpoint feminist theory
