Biography

My current and future project aims to analyze contemporary brazilian dystopias and utopias in literature based on a climate chaos (cli-fi), under the ecological queer perspective. I seek to research under an environmental perspective about the climate changes to understand its influences on queer life's in nature - either human or beyond-human and how those changes are pictured in contemporary literature.
