Assistant Professor of Popular Culture in Historical Perspective
Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication
Erasmus University Rotterdam
I was born and raised in São Paulo, but moved to Montreal at the age of 20 for a B.F.A. in Theatre and Francophone Literature. During my M.A. in Performing Arts Studies (Université Libre de Bruxelles/Universidad de Sevilla), I started to pursue interdisciplinary research, linking my interest in theatre with a newfound curiosity about women's history. This paved the way for my PhD (University of Kent/Freie Universität Berlin), which focused on the work of early modern women playwrights. After my doctoral defense, I did research on the history of women's religious rituals in the Old City of Jerusalem. As a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen, I focused on the history of sexual and reproductive privacy for early modern women.
My research at the Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication engages transnational and comparative perspectives, focusing on women of high and low social status as they interact with their families, communities, and authorities. I also work on the historical development of public discourses about women.
I supervise history research projects that focus on women, intersectionality, diversity, knowledge-making, information, and discourse.
