Rafaela Enes de Miranda is a PhD Research Fellow in Gender Studies, carrying out her work through the Interdisciplinary Centre for Gender Studies (CIEG) at the Institute of Social and Political Sciences of the University of Lisbon (ISCSP). She has a master's degree in History, Cooperation and International Relations, with a minor in Political Studies, from the Faculty of Letters of the University of Porto, and a bachelor's degree in Languages and International Relations from the same institution.
Her thesis project is entitled ""Sou comandante da guerrilha cor-de-rosa": the representations of feminisms and the perceptions of young Portuguese people regarding the discourses and performances of (inter)national feminist rappers" and aims to assess the representations of feminisms in the discourses and performances of rappers who evoke feminist messages and the perceptions that young Portuguese people have about feminism, through these same discourses and performances, using the theory of Hip-Hop feminism. The study is cross-sectional and cross-cultural and an explanatory sequential mixed method will be applied, analysing feminist representations in the lyrics and videos of songs by female rappers of Portuguese, British and American nationalities, between the beginning of 2022 and the end of 2024.
Topics of interest: Her research has been centred on gender issues and feminisms in Hip-Hop, as a new social movement and youth creative practice, from an intersectional perspective.

The MIGAP - MigrAção no Porto project is promoted by the Interdisciplinary Centre for Gender Studies (ISCSP), the Centre for Organisational and Social Studies of the Polytechnic of Porto, the University of Maia and ISCAP.
Given the expressiveness and diversity of migrants living in Greater Porto, the MIGAP project began with a first study "Migratory trends in Porto: an exploratory analysis" whose general aim is to characterise the profiles and understand the experiences of migrants living in Greater Porto. The project's specific objectives are to understand the needs and experiences of migrant populations living in Greater Porto; to identify recent migratory patterns of migrants living in Porto; and to understand the diversity of profiles and integration of migrants during the integration process.
Thus, in partnership with higher education institutions, non-governmental organisations and public institutions, the study will include collecting data from migrants in the geographical area of Greater Porto.
Coordinating the project at UMAIA and the CIEG-UMAIA centre are the following researchers:
Lia Antunes, FCT PhD candidate in Architecture at the University of Coimbra, with CIEG/ISCSP-ULisboa as her host institution, was awarded the MAXQDA International Prize #ResearchForChange 2024 - Women Empowerment for her project "Women of the SAAL Process (1974-1976) in Portugal: Women architects and residents for the right to housing".
The research endeavoured to show the impact of women on social and political processes.
The entire CIEG/ISCSP-ULisboa team congratulates Lia Antunes, an architect and researcher in the field of women in architecture, for her successful research.

Summary of the thesis project: Women in the Portuguese Press: Gender Bias, Leadership and Female Agency in the Newsrooms.
This research aims to: characterize the participation of journalists in the newsrooms of the Portuguese written press; Analyze the impacts and constraints resulting from gender biases in the career path and progression of female journalists; Explore the gender de/construction performed by women in leadership positions; Understand how gender stereotypes and potential biases revealed or perceived by journalists influence newsroom interactions and routines; Characterize the gender biases present in journalistic content.
The research follows a mixed methodological strategy, through the application of the Explanatory Sequential Mixed Method (Creswell & Creswell, 2018): after a first stage, based on a questionnaire survey to male and female journalists from the Portuguese generalist press, semi-structured interviews were conducted (only to women, in different hierarchical positions).
