My interest focuses on community and participatory approaches with popular civil society, such as people education in health, collaborative ethnography and action-research, which consider unpredictability and uncertainty of contexts in movement.

I had been living many years in the State of Amazonas (Brazil) and collaborate with Brazilian and Latin American colleagues.
