Miembro del CSA-1 del proyecto PREC_NIGHT. Patrícia Pereira is an assistant research professor at Polytechnic of Leiria, where she is affiliated with the Interdisciplinary Center of Social Sciences (CICS.NOVA). Her work is grounded in Urban Sociology, with a substantive focus on everyday life and on the subjective experiences of eviction and displacement, as well as on the neighborhood effects and structural dynamics of urban inequality. She holds a Ph.D. in Sociology from Universidade Nova de Lisboa, completed in collaboration with the University of Massachusetts Boston. Her doctoral research examined Lisbon’s Parque das Nações as an emblematic urban redevelopment project and gentrification outcome. Methodologically, her expertise lies in qualitative research, including ethnography and in‑depth interviews. She is increasingly engaged with creative and collaborative methods, examining the ethical and epistemological implications of participatory knowledge production. Patrícia Pereira has been engaged with housing‑rights activism, participating, for example in the Caravana pelo Direito à Habitação (2017), a mobilization that travelled across Portugal to document housing needs and amplify struggles.
