Research Interests

My doctoral research was developed in partnership with the Postgraduate Programme in Collective Health at UFMT, within the scope of the project Promotion of Healthy and Sustainable Territories, funded by the Brazilian Ministry of Labour.

My research investigates the persistence of contemporary slavery in traditional communities historically affected by colonial slavery. Through participatory and community-engaged approaches, the study seeks to strengthen community empowerment and to systematise pathways for breaking the intergenerational cycles of labour exploitation.

The research is grounded in the understanding that territories free from slavery must also be healthy and sustainable. This involves environmental protection, cultural preservation, health promotion, access to land and water, poverty reduction, food sovereignty and access to education.

For this reason, my work adopts a transdisciplinary perspective, collaborating with scholars from different fields to develop integrated approaches to healthy and sustainable territories. Ultimately, the research aims to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

My main research interests include contemporary slavery, rural labour, workers’ health, environmental health, sustainability, and agribusiness.

This project addresses illegal gold mining and deforestation in Brazil’s Crepori National Forest and the territories of Munduruku and Montanha & Mangabal communities. Integrating geospatial data, legal timelines, and community narratives from previous field visits and recent workshops, we expose unlicensed operations on Indigenous lands: constitutionally prohibited yet aided by municipal-level licensing loopholes

This research project is coordinated by researcher Professor Marcia Leopoldina Montanari Corrêa, from the Collective Health Institute (ISC), at the Federal University of Mato Grosso (UFMT) - Brazil, with resources from the Public Ministry of Labor (MPT) of Mato Grosso-Brazil.
This project investigates the relationship between the process of production and social reproduction in the productive context of agribusiness in Mato Grosso-Brazil, and its effects on the epidemiological profile of populations, based on the characterization of occupational and socio-environmental risks of production chains in the territory.
The researcher Bianca Pistorio is a partner of this project, where she is devoloping her thesis as a part of this big umbrella project.
This project had Ethical approval in Brazil by CEP/CONEP on 02/26/2021.
