Welcome!

​

My name is Mariah Peixoto (1994-), and I am a researcher and author from São Paulo, Brazil. I hold a Public Policy & Management Bachelor Degree from University of São Paulo (2017-2022), and I have been developing projects and working as researcher since 2017, mainly associated with the research group and science outreach initiative called DIAN.

​

My main areas of interest are: Critical Animal Studies (CAS), Critical Animal Pedagogy (CAP), Animal Rights and Ethics, Ecojustice Education, Visual Education & Semiotics, Discourse Analysis, Critical Environmental Education, Power Structures, Politics, and  Sustainable Futures.

​

During my bachelor, I got the opportunity to develop and coordinate researches and work as an intern at University of Gothenburg - Sweden (2020), funded by FAPESP, and University of Ottawa - Canada (2019), funded by MITACS. Some of my results and thoughts have been published as articles and, recently, as a book.

​

I strongly believe in the transformative power of education and in the urgent need of rethinking our current relationship with all animal and with nature in general, aiming for a more equal and truly sustainable future.
