Ms Thaís de Carvalho

Profile

My work is situated in the nexus of anthropology of development and human geography. I am interested in how child-centred development programmes affect childhood experiences and definitions of well-being in a rural Indigenous contexts of Amazonia. I am particularly interested in the impact of environmental and social policy changes on Indigenous children's lives. I hope my work can contribute to improve the cultural adequacy of child-sensitive social protection in Latin America.
