I am doctoral research fellow at the Graduate School of Global Intellectual History at the Freie Universität Berlin. My research focuses on Lusophone-African anticolonialism and the Portuguese Empire’s shaping of race and decolonization debates in the United States from 1961 to 1974. (You can read more about my project here.)
My work is supported by fellowships from the German Research Council (DFG) and the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations (SHAFR). From 2018 to 2020 I was a Lecturer in Journalism at the Centre for Advancing Journalism at the University of Melbourne in Australia, where I taught graduate courses in video and audio journalism.
I have a master’s degree in Global History from the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and a bachelor’s degree double majoring in Honors Politics and Spanish + Latin American Studies from NYU in New York. My native language is English. Spanish, German and Portuguese are all works in varying degrees of progress.
