Sandra Nodari
Postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Political Science, UQAM
I completed my PhD in Information Sciences (Universidade Fernando Pessoa, Portugal) and in Communication (Universidade Federal do Paraná, Brazil) in 2022. I am a representative of the EducAção Festival, a journalist/reporter for About Magazine, host of the ClitCast podcast, and a member of REMOLINOS – Research Network on Journalism, Migration and Refuge in Latin American Contexts (ACELAC/USP).
I am a postdoctoral researcher at UQAM. My current research focuses on the media representation of women in subnational politics in Brazil, with a particular interest in the only elected female mayor and the most-voted female city councillors in state capitals. I hold a joint PhD in Information Sciences and Communication, with a dissertation centered on the visibility of women as sources of information in Brazilian and Portuguese TV newscasts, through the lens of feminist epistemology and gender studies. I am also a journalist with a master’s degree in communication. I work as an independent documentary filmmaker, journalist, and podcast host, addressing topics related to gender, sexuality, education, and human rights.
