Growing up where connections are made very quickly and where a click connects everyone, I studied the Portuguese language in its global context, starting with its origin and evolutionary process.
I became an apologist for plurilinguism and multilinguism, especially in a world evolving more and more towards globalization. Nonetheless, there were still many aspects to investigate, mainly because some questions related to second language learning are now emerging. Currently, I am developing my Ph.D thesis to understand the role of the host language in the integration and inclusion processes of migrants and refugees. The main goal of this work is to facilitate te inclusion of these people and groups in the host society, trying to make the world fairer, egalitarian and equitable.

I am a scholar of social movements and migration and currently an Associate Professor of Sociology at Grinnell College, with affiliations in Peace and Conflict Studies and American Studies. My research to date reflects my intellectual and personal interest in understanding how foreign workers, immigrants, and refugees engage in collective action to challenge hegemonic power and create new kinds of political spaces. My work has been supported by the National Science Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Association of University Women, and the American Philosophical Society. I have published my research in edited volumes and peer-reviewed journals such as Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, Mobilization, Ethnic and Racial Studies, Mass Communication and Society, Sociology Compass, and Asian Survey.

About the Migration Network Hub
What is the Migration Network Hub?
The Hub is a virtual “meeting space” where governments, stakeholders and experts can access and share migration-related information and services. It provides curated content, analysis and information on a variety of topics.
The Hub aims to support UN Member States in the implementation, follow-up and review of the Global Compact for Migration by serving as a repository of existing evidence, practices and initiatives, and facilitating access to knowledge sharing via online discussions, an expert database and demand-driven, tailor-made solutions (launching in 2021).
Submit your content
What content is displayed in the Hub?
The Hub aims to help you find information on migration, ranging from policy briefs and journal articles, existing portals and platforms and what they offer, to infographics and videos. The different types of resources submitted by users undergo peer review by a panel of experts from within the UN and beyond, before being approved for inclusion in the Hub. To provide guidance to users based on findings of the needs assessment, the content is ordered so that more comprehensive and global resources are shown before more specific and regional ones. Know a great resource? Please submit using the links above and your suggestion will be reviewed. Please see the draft criteria for existing practices here.
Apply to join the Peer Review Roster
Content submitted to the Migration Network Hub is first peer reviewed by experts in the field from both the UN and beyond. Applications are welcomed to join the roster on an ongoing basis. Learn more here.
