hi!

I’m Teresa, a researcher and writer from and based in Brazil.

I’m interested in critical methodologies, knowledge from the margins, technology, power and feminist praxis.

Currently, I work at the Surveillance Resistance Lab, researching border externalization, surveillance, migration and technology.

Before that, I worked at The Engine Room, where I conducted research on biometrics in the humanitarian sector, digital IDs and civil society advocacy, among other issues.

Once upon a time, as a journalist, I wrote about refugees in Jordan, the peace accords in Colombia, displacement, human rights, politics, and gender justice.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Journalism from the University of São Paulo and a master’s in International Affairs from Columbia University.
