Just submitted my latest piece for publication - written together with two other brilliant minds. If all goes well, by December, I will know if it has been approved for a dossier on Social Justice and Global Religions. Fingers crossed 🍀

After a long time without posting, I am now a Dr.! A huge thank you to the examiners Robert Thurman, Vesna Wallace, Marcelo Carneiro, and Daniel Omar. Also, thank you to my supervisor, Jung Mo Sung and co-supervisor Mario Aguilar. Thank you to my beloved Plinio and dear friends. It was cum laude!

Being a PhD candidate means that quite soon, scholarships end, and we'll have to search for jobs in the academic world. It can be overwhelming to think about competition and all that jazz, but I am a firm believer that helping others and being solidary is always best. 🙏

I'm still here is a must watch, and the soundtrack is also superb. I grew up listening to these songs, and they are pure poetry and cleverness to fight back the military regime. We, the people, are power!

I can call myself privileged because I was invited by my friend and supervisor Jung Mo Sung to his son's wedding celebration, and he articulated the tables so me and Plinio (my partner) could sit together with Analzira Nascimento (a legend!) and her sister.

Delighted to see this photo from the Vatican News media! Please look carefully to the book that was gifted to Pope Francis... this presents us with many layers of reflection.

Got an early Christmas "gift": shingles.
Was it caused by PhD stress? ✔️
To any PhD candidate out there, including myself, make sure to rest and take your time.

Chapter 3 of my thesis is going well! Arendt has been my companion for the last couple of months. In these conversations with her, I can imagine what she would say about right-wing politics, war, and Human Rights violations going on.
I can see a Buddhist interpretation of Arendt being birthed.

Today was an amazing day. Had the opportunity to listen and learn from Ivone Gebara. As part of the Brazilian Feminist Theologians network, it was a wonderful moment.

Excalation in violence means only one thing: We failed. Our institutions, the UN, even we as a collective body, failed. Israel, as a state, has failed its people and the entire world by exterminating Palestinians. Hamas failed its people as well. Violence will never be an answer, it will only grow.

Having access to books, journals, etc. is a reality in the Global North, but in the Global South, many universities struggle to give conditions to their students. This reality should change. I am having an opportunity many don't have, so I'll struggle to give the community back. Book #1
