Paulo Catarino Lopes

Paulo Catarino Lopes has been an Integrated Researcher at the Institute for Medieval Studies (IEM) since its foundation in 2002. The IEM is a research unit of the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences of NOVA University Lisbon (NOVA FCSH). At this institution, he obtained his Master’s and PhD degrees in History, having previously completed his Bachelor’s degree in the same field at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Lisbon (FLUL).

With Cultural History and the History of Mentalities as his main field of specialization, his research interests focus on the following themes, approached from a diachronic perspective: mobility, circulation, and travel; representations of identity, alterity, and interculturality; and emotions. His preferred analytical contexts are international relations and cultural and religious interactions.

In addition to being a member of several international research networks, he publishes regularly in indexed journals and in collective volumes by leading academic publishers. He has also organized and participated in numerous national and international conferences. Since 2021, he has coordinated the IEM Research Group Images, Texts and Representations.
