Rui Carvalho
Biography
Year of Entry: 2014
My ongoing doctoral dissertation project investigates how, alongside social class, race shapes international migration aspirations and capabilities. Particularly, my project examines how inequalities in the international migration aspirations and capabilities of Brazilians are shaped by (individual and structural) racism and processes of racialization. I focus mainly on the (potential) international migration of Brazilians to Boston (United States) and Lisbon (Portugal), using a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods of social research. Additionally, and following the work from my Master’s thesis, I am also studying how migration-driven ethnic and racial diversity influence neighborhood social capital and community cohesion in diverse contexts. This project uses data from a survey applied to the autochthonous and immigrant residents of several neighborhoods located in six large European cities.
