I'm a Brazilian philosopher working as a postdoctoral researcher at the Center of Logic, Epistemology and History of Science, at the State University of Campinas (CLE- Unicamp), in Brazil.  My academic history is mainly on the Philosophy of Language, Philosophy of Neuroscience, Metaphilosophy and Epistemology. My current research focus is on the Philosophy of Mind, more specifically on Enactivism and Language. I've been working on developments of Enactivism regarding its ontology, its conception of language and its consequences to epistemology, and on gender related social interactions under an enactive perspective. My work on enactivism and language is building on improvisational practices to better understand participatory sense-making and on the evolution of sign using. Previously, I've worked on the Philosophy of Cognitive Neuroscience as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of São Paulo - FFLCH-USP, and as a visiting researcher at the Center for Integrative Neuroscience and Neurodynamics - CINN, at the University of Reading, in the United Kingdom. I also take part in initiatives to promote the work of women philosophers and to foster interdisciplinary and collaborative research.
