My qualitative research methodologies combine historical and discourse analyses with community-based ethnographic and participatory approaches. I am particularly interested in multiple marginalization and the intersections of gender, race, poverty, and disability in movements for disability liberation (justice and rights) and disability oppression (eugenics, sterilization, mass-incarceration and killing in Brazil, the United States and Canada. Finally, I engage actively in discussions of the emergence of neurodivergence and disability studies in Brazil and other Global South Countries.

At present, I'm particularly interested in musical ensembles. In piano duos, rock bands, or orchestras with more than a hundred players, musicians coordinate their actions and the sounds they produce. How do ensemble members communicate and respond to each other, gesturally or sonically? What technologies, techniques, or musical features facilitate such interactions? I'm using various tools to investigate these questions, including social network analysis.
