Research
Her research approach is interdisciplinary, and it is centered on the influence of social networks in the formulation of gender public policies, in Brazil. This research project exploits social network sites in order to check how the debates that began in social networks overflowed these institutional spaces and resonated in the formulation of public policies for women in Brazil, from the age of 2000.
