Dahdaleh Global Health Graduate Scholar, Planetary Health
Graduate Student Scholar
Ana is pursuing a PhD in environmental studies in the Faculty of Environmental and Urban Change (EUC) at York University. She holds a master’s degree in international relations from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC Rio) and a bachelor's degree in law from Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV Direito Rio).
Currently, Ana is a research associate at the Center for Indigenous Knowledges and Languages (CIKL), working on the project "Indigenous Climate Leadership and Self-Determined Futures", and a collaborator of Indigenous Climate Action. She is also a researcher at the BRICS Policy Center (BPC), working for the Critical Approaches to Development network (ACD-Rede) and a reviewer for the Brazilian Journal of Social Sciences (RBCS).
Her research interests lie at the intersections between coloniality, modernity and "nature", with particular focus on alternatives to development, the Anthropocene and decolonial futures. In the PhD, Ana's research focuses on the concept of “colonization of the future”, the futuristic imaginaries that are under dispute in the climate crisis, and their onto-epistemic implications. For this, she has been living in Tkaronto, having moved from Nheterõîa (Niterói), Pindorama (Brazil), where she grew up.
