Barbara dos Santos is currently pursuing a Master’s within the department of Gender Studies at Memorial University. With guidance from her supervisor(s), Carol-Lynne D’Arcangelis and Sonja Boon. Barbara’s research pursues the intersectionality of race, class, and gender within narratives of Black women intellectuals within her homeland of Brazil. Barbara’s research suggests that the success of decolonizing those narratives may be done so through the use of social media. This isn’t Barbara’s first Masters. The questions driving her current research are built from previous experiences as a graduate student in Brazil as well as from her own afro-Brazilian heritage.
