Prioritising communities: Barriers to climate activism and political imaginatio...
Rebelo, D.; Garcia, A. D.; Santos, T. R.; Carvalho, A.; Malafaia, C.; Fernandes-Jesus, M.Minoritised youth voices are often underrepresented in climate action research. Despite the increasing interest in youth climate activism, there is still an overall lack of attention to the perspectives of young people struggling with discrimination, poverty, and other social injustices. In this article, we focus on a diverse group of minoritised youth in Portugal to explore their experiences of climate activis...
Imagined climate futures and collective action: An analysis of affect in dystop...
Santos, T. R.; Rebelo, D.; Garcia, A.; Fernandes-Jesus, M.; Malafaia, C.; Carvalho, A.In recent climate mobilisations, young people have emerged as key leaders, organisers, and influencers of social change. This article examines how utopias and dystopias, embedded in affective-discursive practices, are articulated by young climate activists to support their engagement in collective action. We analysed discourse from four focus group discussions and two pair interviews with young climate activist...
Intersectionality in youth climate activism as educational practice: Political,...
Garcia, A.; Rebelo, D.; Diógenes-Lima, J.; Fernandes-Jesus, M.; Malafaia, C.Youth climate movements have increasingly adopted an intersectional approach to activism, highlighting how diverse social categories (inter alia, race, gender, social class, sexuality) intersect with power structures and systems of oppression. This article explores the educational value of practices of intersectionality as they unfold in activists’ everyday lives, both within the climate movement and in its rel...
Prefigurative politics and cultures of care in the Portuguese youth climate str...
Rebelo, D.; Malafaia, C.; Fernandes-Jesus, M.Young climate activists draw inspiration from diverse social and political struggles and use several tactics and strategies of collective action to build their movements. Extant scholarship on youth climate activist groups such as the School Strike for Climate have focused on how young people organise and set up their political priorities to tackle the climate crisis. However, there is still a lack of research ...
A community psychology for migrant justice: Critically examining border violenc...
Esposito, F.; Rebelo, D.; Olanrewaju, M.; Vine, M.; Fernandes-Jesus, M.; Bodden, D.; Kalokoh, A.; Olson, B.This article explores the magnifying lenses of the COVID-19 syndemic to highlight how people racialized as migrants and refugees have been—and continue to be—disproportionally harmed. We use empirical evidence collected in our scholarly/activist work in Europe, Africa, South Asia, and the United States to examine migrant injustice as being produced by a combination of power structures and relations working to m...
Coming of age while challenging borders: Networks of solidarity and resistance ...
Rebelo, D.This article examines the strategies of resistance enacted by an informal network of solidarity comprised of Afghan youths on the move in Europe and their Swedish allies. In 2015, thousands of Afghan children fleeing from the Taliban regime arrived in Europe as unaccompanied minors. Many have been hosted in Sweden and lived there for several years, until coming of age. Reaching 18 years prompted a series of con...
Integrating refugees and migrants into higher education in Portugal? An action ...
Santinho, C.; Rebelo, D.This article results from research comprised of fieldwork ethnography, participant observation, collection of life stories, interviews and testimonials of refugees, asylum seekers and migrants, living in Portugal. We focus on a particular experience of the research named Living in a Different Culture (LDC), which took place between 2017 and 2019, aimed at participants who shared the goal of becoming university ...
Acute toxicity screening of 4-chloroaniline in freshwater standard species
Rebelo, D.; Antunes, S. C.; Rodrigues, S.Background: Aromatic amines are commonly used in the production of pigments, dyes, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and laboratory chemicals [1]. Due to inappropriate discard and the ineffectiveness of wastewater treatment plants in removing these compounds, they are frequently detected in aquatic ecosystems [2], leading to 4-chloroaniline being considered a candidate for the 4th Watch List under the Water Fram...
Acute and chronic effects of environmental realistic concentrations of simvasta...
Rebelo, D.; Correia, A. T.; Nunes, B.Due to their wide use, pharmaceuticals can be discarded, metabolized and excreted into the environment, potentially affecting aquatic organisms. Lipid-regulating drugs are among the most prescribed medications around the world, to control human cholesterol levels, in more than 20 million patients. Despite this massive use of lipid-regulating drugs, particularly simvastatin, the role of these drugs is not fully ...
Solidarity with refugees in Portugal: A collaborative research
Rebelo, D.; Abdullah, A.; Hussein, M.The so-called refugee crisis encouraged the expression of different forms of solidarity and activism, opposing increasingly oppressive asylum policies. New solidarity movements and social participation projects were created, stimulated by the relationships established between newcomers and civil society. However, grassroots refugee activism seems to have remained less visible, despite its frontline support in c...
