Graduated in Sociology (2005), I had my master's in Sociology in 2015 (ISCTE-IUL) and I’m a Ph.D. student at ISCTE-IUL since 2015/2016. Invited Assistant Teacher at Higher Education School, Santarém since 2018, teaching research methods and techniques in social sciences.
With relevant professional experience in the field of adult education and training, the research areas have been designed around adults with little education in Portugal.
In the Ph.D. the research that has been developed aims to deepen a phenomenon studied in the Master's thesis, around low educated adults who haven't resumed formal education. In order to map the phenomenon, focusing on these adults a look capable of capturing their dispositions, characterizing their contexts and knowing their reflections, we hope to find answers on the reasons that have kept these adults out of formal education, understanding its relationship with other forms of learning.
