Background
I received my doctorate in Social Psychology from the Department of Social Sciences, Loughborough University. Under the supervision of Professor Michael Billig, I investigated the annual celebration of the April Revolution in the Portuguese Parliament mostly using qualitative research methods.
Previously, I undertook a Master’s Degree in Social Psychology at ISCTE-IUL, Lisbon, investigating, under the supervision of Professor Maria Benedicta Monteiro, blatant and subtitle prejudice in children with experiments and worked as a young quantitative researcher in Social Psychology studying political attitudes, infra-humanization, power and intergroup perceptions at the Institute of Social Sciences (ICS-University of Lisbon) and CIS-IUL (Lisbon). I also worked as a University Teacher at Loughborough University, Leicester University and NTIC-Nottingham Trent University.

Research summary
My research interests revolve around investigating traditional social psychological topics as discursive actions using a rhetorical/discursive psychology approach. Topics of interest: political ideology/practices, manipulation/persuasion, dilemmas of identity, extreme forms of prejudice/discrimination, rhetorical/discursive psychology.
I have worked with Professor Michael Billig (Loughborough University) on the annual parliamentary celebration of the April Revolution and investigated discursively the topics of self-persuasion in party politics, forms of manipulating texts and multi-party audiences, forms of collective remembering and collective forgetting/repression, and, sexist language habits.
