I joined the Department of Applied Linguistics at the University of Campinas (Unicamp) in 2013, in the Languages, Cultures and Identities research track. My research interests are concentrated in the fields of cultural studies and intermediality. The first field shapes a political approach to language studies, through the interface of post-colonial and memory theories with studies on institutional discourses, media, arts, education, and literature. The second one explores the various forms of interconnection between text and image for the study of contemporary media cultures. I have published articles on topics such as narratives in human rights education, multimodal (auto)biographical genres, communicative memory and medias, institutional discourses on gender, women’s writing, and others. I am currently head of the “Storytelling Exercises for Writing Practice in Human Rights Education” project and I am also carrying out my individual research on genders and criminal identities representations in police archives. I also coordinate the teaching degree course in Languages and participate in the academic literacy program for indigenous students at Unicamp.
