Biography

I studied History at Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro and for two years researched the history of colonial Brazil, especially Indigenous history. However, by the end of the course, I was more drawn to Psychoanalysis and decided to write my final thesis on how the São Paulo writer Oswald de Andrade employed psychoanalytic concepts in his work. Although I had found myself more in the field of History Theory, I had already decided to pursue Psychology. Nevertheless, my interest in History did not wane, and I like to stay in touch with it during my university breaks, either by editing Wikipedia entries or studying on my own.
