History of Art.

Having experience as an invited teacher in several countries, with my academic background I have a year-round participation in international conferences, seminars and chairing panel sessions. Between researching, teaching and publishing, I am always looking for new opportunities. I have taught and held positions as an academic teacher, from teaching full courses, short courses and individual classes in institutions like Universidade Nova de Lisboa (UNL-FCSH), Sotheby’s Institute of Art, A Base Art School, Leonardo da Vinci Institute, University of the Arts London, among others.

I have given academic lectures and administered short courses for different audiences and I am always eager to share more in cycles of classes in university departments and other graduate and undergraduate levels.

As part of my work at the Tate Learning Department, I have developed plenty of tailored tutoring solutions for both mature and younger audiences.

I have obtained a European PhD in art history with the highest grade possible by unanimity of an international jury. Previously, I have obtained MA, BA (Hons) and FdA degrees at the University of the Arts London and at Sotheby’s Institute of London/University of Manchester.

I am currently an Integrated Member at CASt (Contemporary Art Studies - Instituto de História da Arte) research group and a full-time teacher of literature, alongside positions such as visiting scholar and external researcher at Paris-Sorbonne IV, Université de Paris.

In my teaching I am able to cover all periods of your regular history of art curriculum at university level — from pre-sapiens cave paintings to the latest immersive art experiences.

Aside from this, below is a sample of some of the classes I have developed and that I love to teach. For more about their context and possibilities of extended learning, contact me.
