Between 2007-2015, I was Assistant Professor at Lusófona University (Lisbon) on History and Heritage; Researcher at the UL Centre for Archaeology, where I led the Group on History of Archaeology in Portugal, concluding two research projects on this topic (2007-2014). I was a Full Researcher (2008-2013) and Post-Ph.D. researcher at the Tropical Research Institute (2013-2014), curating archaeological collections, and developing history of science.

O Impossível Demora Mais
Antropologia para o futuro, correntes frias da realidade e correntes quentes da esperança
Nada há de normal ou natural no desvanecimento da esperança. Neste livro, a autora parte da realidade atual da grã-crise para ensaiar uma crítica aos princípios que ordenam o tempo, entre o que pode acontecer, desacontecer e reacontecer. Os futuros desafiam-se, e a memória pode ser um terraço para outra coisa ainda, para escapar ao provável, apresentado como uma condenação. A construção do possível e mesmo do impossível remete para etnografias da resistência, em lugares concretos e entre pessoas concretas, com recurso a subjetivações libertadoras. Procuram-se fulgores que trazem dentro o jogo, a brincadeira e a festa, como invenção de mundos por vir, que poderão servir de tocha para esboroar incertezas e esboçar uma teoria das disputas do futuro, entre qualidades do tempo, rastos que são também rastilhos, rumos para a ação coletiva, esperança que é verbo e construção, prática e concretização. Finalmente, traz dentro a pressa que se põe num remate acerca do impossível, que é necessário.
