My research agenda focuses on feminist economics and decolonial feminism. My last works are on sustainability, climate change and gender (Gender dimension in the Big Push for Sustainability in Brazil: women in the context of the social and ecological transformation of the Brazilian economy, published in portuguese 02/2021), on the situation of Brasilian women during Covid-19 (“¿Estamos en el mismo barco? Una lectura feminista sobre los efectos del COVID-19”.
