Isabel Menezes

I have a degree and a PhD in Psychology and a habilitation in Education Sciences from the University of Porto, where I am a Professor in the Department of Education Sciences. I teach courses on Educational Research, Educational and Community Intervention, Citizenship/Political Education and Political Psychology. My research deals with the civic and political participation of children, young people and adults, with a special interest in groups at risk of exclusion and the ways formal and non-formal education (including artistic) experiences can generate more complex ways of relationship with the political. More recent interests relate to doctoral education and university social responsibility as a way to explore how universities can creatively and proactively respond to societal challenges. I coordinated several funded research inter/national projects (FP7 PIDOP, FCT EduCiPart e H2020 Catch-EyoU; Erasmus+ EU-USR, UNIBILITY, HE4U2, ESSA) and am currently co-PI in projects related to environmental education and adaptation to climate change. I am currently the president of the Portuguese Educational Research Association (SPCE).
