Biography

Postdoctoral fellow in the Department of History at State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) since 2021, in the line of research Social History of Culture, undergraduate in History at the University of São Paulo (2007) and at the University of Paris IV (2003), with a master's degree (2011) and a PhD (2018) in Social History, by the Faculty of Philosophy, Letters and Human Sciences of the University of São Paulo. My researches and publications address the history of African and Creole women, gender relations, pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, motherhood and medicine in slavery and domestic work in the post-abolition period. The master's research, developed with the support of CNPq, addressed the daily lives of black women and the domestic work relationships in São Paulo between 1880 and 1920 (Freed between houses: black women and domestic work in São Paulo (1880-1920), Ed. Alameda, 2013). The doctoral research, entitled Teresa Benguela and Felipa Crioula were pregnant: motherhood and slavery in Rio de Janeiro (19th century), won the Thesis Award in Social Sciences by LASA (Latin American Studies Association), Section Brazil / 2020, and the Social History Award of the Postgraduate Program in Social History of USP, 2019 edition. Currently, in the ambit of the post-doctorate, I am dedicated to the research of life trajectories, worldviews and experiences of motherhood for Central African women and descendants, in the scenarios of medium and large farms in the Southeast coffee.
