The methodology was based on a structured workshop divided into five phases (representations, facts analysis, causes and impacts, attitudes, and s…
Beyond boundaries: Navigating fluidity, power dynamics, and erasure in contemporary lesbian identities
This paper explores the evolving concepts of 'woman' and 'lesbian' in contemporary discourse, emphasizing fluidity influenced by spatial, temporal, and power dynamics. Critiquing rigid identity politics, it advocates for a broader, inclusive perspective on lesbianism, challenging Western-centric views. Affirming lesbian identities, incorporating the fluidity of gender and sexual identities, is recognized as revolutionary, disrupting gender norms,…
Equality Policies and Intersections of Gender and Sexuality: The Role of Academic Research
Gender inequalities are a reality in economic, political and social participation. The lives of women and men, either cisgender or transgender, are deeply affected by gender inequalities. Sexual orientation equality policies often fail to take gender inequalities into account. Academic research has the potential to contribute to clarify the concepts underlying equality policies and to promote an intersectional approach. In terms of equality polic…

Digital technologies are shaping the way we work, communicate, socialize, participate, and interact with the physical world. It is crucial to understand how young people are using digital technologies to make sense of the world around them. Considering the persistent gender gap in information and communication tech…
Lesbian Feminism: Essays Opposing Global Heteropatriarchies
Drawing on the incredible wealth of diversity of languages, cultures and movements in which lesbian feminisms have been articulated, this book confronts the historic devaluation of lesbian-feminist politics within Anglo-American discourse and ignites a transnational and transgenerational discussion regarding the relevance of lesbian feminisms in today’s world, a discussion that challenges the view of lesbian feminism as static and essentialist. T…
Women's, gender and feminist studies in Portugal: Researchers’ resilience vs institutional resistance
This paper presents an overview of Women's, Gender and Feminist Studies in Portugal, focusing on gender and feminist geographies. Although there is a solid, diversified and mature corpus of feminist reflection in the Portuguese academia, there is a lack of institutional recognition with very few Women's, Gender and Feminist Studies formally organized in curricula or academic degrees. There have been, and still are, many resistances to a formal re…
The co-production of gender and ICT: Gender stereotypes in schools
Information and communication technologies (ICT) are increasingly pervasive and embedded in everyday objects, significantly constituting social identities. In particular, ICT continues to be highly gendered in all socioeconomic and educational backgrounds, a source of significant social inequality in enduring ways. This paper reports on an ongoing research project entitled ‘Gender@ICT’ which explores the interrelations of gender and technologies …
Lesbian Geographies: Gender, Place and Power
Lesbian collaborative web mapping: Disrupting heteronormativity in Portugal
Public spaces are constructed around hidden, subtle, non-verbalized and implicit codes of behaviour. These hidden and implicit codes of behaviour are pervasive heteronormative expressions that inscribe socio-spatial landscapes. As a consequence, same-sex public displays of affection are modified, or entirely absent. In the Portuguese sociocultural context public displays of heterosexual and familial affection are common, which prompted us to rese…
