Principal Researcher
Margarida Calafate Ribeiro is a senior researcher at the Centre for Social Studies, University of Coimbra and holds the Eduardo Lourenço Chair at the University of Bologna/ Camões. She specialises in literature and history of the Portuguese empire, politics and heritage, working in the interstices between literary studies and history. Her recent research has been focused particularly on the memory and postmemory of colonialism and empire, identities and postcolonialism, and women and war, in the Portuguese context. In 2015 she was awarded a Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council for the project “MEMOIRS - Children of Empires and European Postmemories”. Her work has been published widely and her seminal study Uma História de Regressos: império, Guerra Colonial e pós-colonialismo (2004) presents the foundations of such interdisciplinary research. It should also be underlined the co-organization of the Antologia da Memória Poética da Guerra Colonial (Anthology of the Poetic Memory of the Colonial War) (2011), O Colonialismo como o nosso impensado (Colonialism as Our Impensado) (2014) with Roberto Vecchi, Geometrias da Memória: Configurações Pós-coloniais (Memory Geometries: Postcolonial Configurations) (2016) with António Sousa Ribeiro, Memória, Cidade e Literatura (Memory, City, Literature) (2019) with Francisco Noa and Heranças Pós-Coloniais nas Literaturas de Língua Portuguesa (Post-Colonial Legacies in Portuguese Language Literatures) (2019) with Phillip Rothwell.

Vitor Belanciano, cultural journalist, music critic and chronicler, has been in the Público newspaper for over twenty years. He has a background in anthropology and sociology. He lived part of his childhood in Niza, grew up in Barreiro, currently lives in Lisbon, and identifies with Alentejo. Over the years, he has been an actor, DJ, social scientist or teacher. Belanciano has been more in journalism, but does not practice impartiality and neutrality. He believes in choices, rigor, transparency, multiple perspectives, analysis, questioning and possibility. Belanciano achieves this by approaching politics, economics, society, music, art and ideas through culture, languages, interdisciplinarity. It is from there that Não Dá para Ficar Parado ( To stand still is no option. Afro-Portuguese Music - celebration, conflict and hope) was born, where he is both a distant observer and a conscious actor. Music is the starting point, but it is only because it includes everything else.

Margarida Calafate Ribeiro is a senior researcher at the Centre for Social Studies, University of Coimbra and holds the Eduardo Lourenço Chair at the University of Bologna/ Camões. She specialises in literature and history of the Portuguese empire, politics and heritage, working in the interstices between literary studies and history. Her recent research has been focused particularly on the memory and postmemory of colonialism and empire, identities and postcolonialism, and women and war, in the Portuguese context. In 2015 she was awarded a Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council for the project “MEMOIRS - Children of Empires and European Postmemories”. Her work has been published widely and her seminal study Uma História de Regressos: império, Guerra Colonial e pós-colonialismo (2004) presents the foundations of such interdisciplinary research. It should also be underlined the co-organization of the Antologia da Memória Poética da Guerra Colonial (Anthology of the Poetic Memory of the Colonial War) (2011), O Colonialismo como o nosso impensado (Colonialism as Our Impensado) (2014) with Roberto Vecchi, Geometrias da Memória: Configurações Pós-coloniais (Memory Geometries: Postcolonial Configurations) (2016) with António Sousa Ribeiro, Memória, Cidade e Literatura (Memory, City, Literature) (2019) with Francisco Noa and Heranças Pós-Coloniais nas Literaturas de Língua Portuguesa (Post-Colonial Legacies in Portuguese Language Literatures) (2019) with Phillip Rothwell.

Miguel Cardina is a historian and researcher at the Centre for Social Studies. His research interests focus on key topics of MEMOIRS, such as the history of Portuguese colonialism, anticolonialism and the colonial wars; the dynamics between history and memory; and the uses of Oral History. Among his many publications, we highlight two articles within the topics of MEMOIRS: "Memórias amnésicas? Nação, discurso político e representações do passado colonial" (2016) and “To talk or not to talk. Silence, Torture, and Politics in the Portuguese Dictatorship of Estado Novo" (2013). In 2016 he was awarded a Starting Grant of the European Research Council (ERC) as principal researcher for the project "CROME - Crossed Memories, Politics of Silence.

Vitor Belanciano, cultural journalist, music critic and chronicler, has been in the Público newspaper for over twenty years. He has a background in anthropology and sociology. He lived part of his childhood in Niza, grew up in Barreiro, currently lives in Lisbon, and identifies with Alentejo. Over the years, he has been an actor, DJ, social scientist or teacher. Belanciano has been more in journalism, but does not practice impartiality and neutrality. He believes in choices, rigor, transparency, multiple perspectives, analysis, questioning and possibility. Belanciano achieves this by approaching politics, economics, society, music, art and ideas through culture, languages, interdisciplinarity. It is from there that Não Dá para Ficar Parado ( To stand still is no option. Afro-Portuguese Music - celebration, conflict and hope) was born, where he is both a distant observer and a conscious actor. Music is the starting point, but it is only because it includes everything else.
