On Friday, 14 November 2025, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., the Doctoral Program in Anthropology will host an Open Lecture by anthropologist Miguel Vale de Almeida, Full Professor at ISCTE – University Institute of Lisbon in Social-Cultural Anthropology.
The lecture, titled “Tying the Threads: The Mutual Constitution of Class, Race, Ethnicity, Gender and Sexuality”, will provide a summary of decades of research on these issues and their concerning political implications in the contemporary world.
Miguel Vale de Almeida’s research, with fieldwork in Portugal, Brazil, Spain, and Israel/Palestine, focuses on gender and sexuality, ethnicity, “race,” and postcolonial studies. His latest book, “Pedra Branca. Rosa Feldman, a 20th-Century Life Story” (co-authored with Ethel Feldman), was awarded the Miguel Torga Grand Prize for Biographical Literature.
