The reason why I also share my research work is because I believe that lifelong learning helps us to be better professionals, better citizens and better people.
Understanding, empathy and motivation to excel are skills that are learned through the humility of putting ourselves in the place of the other, in this case in the place of the student, the learner. And in research we are always learning and discovering new paths that I directly or indirectly transport to my classes.
Additionally, I am working on my PhD thesis in Modern Literature and Culture. I love sharing what I learn, which is why I'm building a path in the research area by publishing articles, participating in conferences and participating in editorial projects.

: 1719-7A04-FBF6Research project founded in January 2020 intertwining Cetaps’s Research Strand A – Science and Culture and Research Strand B- Literature and the Media. This study, published on a website created for the purpose, lists and analyzes all Anglo-Saxon fictional narratives – starting from the year 2000 – that somehow establish a bridge between literature and science in the anglophone world.
The differentiating factor of this project is to offer scholars and researchers an insight into the way literature portrays science in the 21st century, presenting a new generation of writers that offer a fresh perspective over the multiple relationships established between fictional narratives and science.
