In 2017, when I started studying Public Policies & Management, I got in touch with a project called D.I.A.N. (Debates and Investigations on Animals and Nature) and engaged as a volunteer. Created in 2015 by Dr. Tânia Regina Vizachri (USP) and Prof. Dr. Luis Paulo de Carvalho Piassi (USP), the D.I.A.N. Project is a Brazilian research and science outreach group from University of São Paulo (EACH-USP), the same institution in which I pursue my degree.

​

In mid-2017, I started developing some research projects within the team, formally starting my Scientific Initiation in the beginning of the following year. Since mid-2018, I became one of the team coordinators, dedicating most of my time to activities related with this project.

​​

Our work  aims to promote critical discussions regarding the complex relationship between humans and nature, highlighting socioenvironmental problems and ethical conflicts arising from the exploitation of other animal species.

​​

Based on the Animal Rights, Critical Animal Pedagogy and Ecojustice perspectives, we develop reflective and also playful activities for the most diverse audiences and age groups.
