Space narratives, geographical imaginaries and destination cosmologies: from 17...
Pereira, AlexandraTo adress space as a narrative process (Lotman, 2005), we need to inquire on the multiple ways how the meaning of spaces evolves through time, experience and across cultures.

O refugiado climático - uma nova categoria político-jurídica

Gender roles, gender models, social norms and cultural challenges: from Nepal t...
Pereira, AlexandraIn this study, we depart from an analysis of gender roles and social norms in the contemporary Nepalese society (Walli et al., 2019; Khanal, 2021) and the effects of migration on patriarchal norms and empowerment (Wu and Kilby, 2022), to then discuss the benefits of support groups for migrant women (Msengi et al., 2015) and the gender-related challenges faced by them in host environments (Dahal et al., 2022).
