The JRAAS team (Junior Researchers in Anglo-American Studies) and the CETAPS Digital Lab  (Centre for English, Translation, and Anglo-Portuguese Studies) - a research centre at the Faculty of Letters of the University of Porto - is presenting its latest film series, entitled ‘Thalassologia: The Blue Humanities in Film’.

The doctoral research “STEAM for all: from representations to storytelling and hands-on activities towards gender equity” is taking its first steps in the field of science communication as part of the Doctoral Program in Science Education and Communication. In this research, we have a transversal role of the digital humanities that will impact from the analysis of data to the production of visualisation materials.

The 2nd FLUP Research Meeting, held in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Porto, highlights interdisciplinary/ collaborative research projects using digital methods or techniques with applications to Social Sciences and Humanities.

Last April I submitted my application for the 2024 PhD Studentship Call, funded by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FTC) (the main Portuguese research public agency). I was awarded a four-year studentship with the project “Sustainability – representations in digital media and schools”. The work involves two academic institutions, the Research Center in Chemistry (CIQUP), and the Centre for English, Translation, and Anglo-Portuguese Studies (CETAPS), with a guidance team composed of two supervisors, Carla Morais and Luciano Moreira. 

The current technological context suggests the possibility of a connection between home and school, increasing parents' involvement in their children's development while expanding the possibilities of ubiquitous, connected, and participatory learning.
