In 2022 Verónica Policarpo was awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant to develop the project ABIDE – Animal Abidings: recovering from disasters in more-than-human communities (ERC, ABIDE, Grant agreement ID: 101043231, 2023-2028).
I hold a PhD in Social Sciences (Sociology) by ICS-ULisboa and my current research interests are focused on human-animal relationships and the construction of daily practices and bonds between human and non-human animals.
In my projects I am interested in a more-than-human approach in which all living beings are considered as active stakeholders and collaborators in the co-construction of shared worlds.
