About

I am currently a EUDO Collaborator for the project “Participation in EU decision-making: Portugal in Comparative Perspective”. The project is based at the
Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (European University Institute) and is being funded by the Fundação Francisco Manuel dos Santos
http://www.eui.eu/Projects/EUDO/Research.aspx

I recently defended my doctoral dissertation at the European University Institute, at the Department of Political and Social Sciences. My PhD dissertation focuses on ways of dealing with the authoritarian past after democratic consolidation in Spain, Poland and Portugal. My research is framed by the literature on transitional justice but proposes a new concept - Post-Transitional Justice - to explore how and why young democracies bring back the past onto the political realm.

Originally from Portugal, I graduated in Sociology from the New University of Lisbon in 2004. In 2007 I completed my MA in Comparative Politics at the Institute of Social Sciences, University of Lisbon. During my PhD program (2007-2011), I was a visiting scholar at UCBerkeley's Institute of European Studies, at the Juan March Institute, in Madrid, and at the European Centre of Natolin, in Warsaw.

My work has been published by Palgrave Macmillan (forthcoming, 2012), Social Science Monographs/Columbia University Press (2009); and Portuguese Journal of Social Science (2009). I am currently working on a book manuscript based on my PhD dissertation.

My interests include: comparative politics, democratizations, transitional justice, legacies of authoritarianism, European politics.
