R. (Renata) De Figueiredo Summa, Dr

I am currently working on displacement, homing and space-making in two different contexts:

1. A long-term approach towards post-war displacement related to the Bosnian-Herzegovinian case

2. Urban displacement - House evictions in favelas in Rio de Janeiro due to international mega-events

My previous work also deal with borders, boundaries and everyday places. Theoretically, I am close to debates in critical IR and critical geography. Methodologically, I lean towards ethnography, fieldwork, interviews, observation and the use of literature and art to think about international politics.
