I grew up in Recife, Brazil. I received my MA in Philosophy from the Federal University of Pernambuco. In addition to the research interests listed I've also been fascinated by Amerindian Philosophy, with particular focus on Ontological Turn Anthropology. In my spare time, I like to play the guitar, take walks, and write. I frequently  contribute to Brazilian art and literary magazines, such as Cult, Le Monde Diplomatique, and Outras Palavras.
