Biography
I completed five years of my law degree at the Faculty of Law of the University of Lisbon, the 4th year of which I did in Bologna (Italy) under the Socrates-Erasmus programme, and subsequently completed the curricular year of the Master’s Degree in Legal and Criminal Sciences at the same institution, having also been a member of the Portuguese Bar Association since 2010.
More recently, I had the opportunity to dedicate myself to the area of humanities that has always aroused great interest, entering the master’s course in History (specialising in Contemporary History) in 2019, choosing NOVA FCSH. As part of that course, which I completed in 2022, I presented a dissertation entitled “Republicanismo a Sul do Tejo na imprensa local, 1907-1913” [Republicanism south of the Tagus in the local press, 1907-1913]. I’m currently a PhD student on the History course (specialising in Contemporary History) at the same institution and an FCT scholarship holder. My thesis is entitled “Crise Política e Conflito na Regeneração: Portugal e o Sexénio Democrático (1868-1874)” [Political Crisis and Conflict in the Regeneration: Portugal and the Democratic Six-Year Period (1868-1874)], investigating the impact of the turbulent Spanish Democratic Six-Year Period on Portugal, particularly with regard to the circulation of political ideas and the actions of opposition groups on this side of the border during that period.
Throughout my career, I have developed a keen interest in local history, as well as in the study of the press as a source of knowledge about the social and political realities to be investigated.

Detalhes do Evento
International congress that aims to analyse the history of Spain between 1976 and 1986 from a multidisciplinary, transnational and comparative perspective.
Renewed Spain:
Post-Francoism, Transactions and Democracy (1976-1986)
In a context of speedy social change that took place in Spain in the 1960s and 70s, marked by the most intense cycle of political conflict that the country experienced since the establishment of the dictatorship, Franco’s death put the regime under pressure. The subsequent process of political, but also social, economic and cultural transformation, the so-called transition, ended up being configured as an ideal model of transition from dictatorship to a democratic situation. In recent years, historians and social scientists have revisited the process, reconsidering elements such as its chronology or the actors involved, problematizing its formative character in relation to public history and memory. In fact, it is difficult to set a precise date for the beginning and the end of the transition, as it was a process that was arguably kickstarted year after the death of the dictator and which continued until after the failed coup of 1981, lasting, in the opinion of some, until the phase of political stabilization associated with the post-1982 socialist electoral victories, Spain’s accession to the European Community (1986) and the inception of the regional autonomy system (1979-83). Other important measures, such as divorce, were only implemented in the course of that decade. It is clear that the consolidation of democratic institutions and values and respect for international legal standards were slow to arrive. For this reason, our chosen timespan covers the years 1976-1986.
The congress Renewed Spain: Post-Francoism, Transactions and Democracy (1976-1986) will take place at the Institute of Contemporary History (IHC), in Lisbon, on 5-6 July 2024. Pamela Radcliff will deliver a keynote speech.
