Biography

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 methods.  Previously, I undertook a Master’s Degree in Social Psychology at ISCTE-UL, Lisbon, investigating, with experiments, blatant and subtitle prejudice in children and worked as a young researcher at the Institute of Social Sciences, Lisbon.   

After my PhD, I have continued to work with Michael Billig on the annual parliamentary celebration of the April Revolution and have 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. I also worked as a university teacher at Loughborough University and NTIC-Nottingham Trent University.
