Background

From the intersection of race, gender, and class, to name a few, Dr. Moreira writes performance auto-ethnography looking at words, knowledge, concepts, and actions, which expose differences and also shape, marked bodies into the world. From a present space created by a deep immersion in the past, he challenges the white man’s ideology, trying to create a transformative action, a performative space, whose goal is to bring more justice and dignity to more people. His works can or will be found at Studies in Symbolic Interaction, Qualitative Inquiry, and Cultural Studies, Critical Methodologies. His forthcoming book co-authored with Marcelo Diversi, provisorily entitled, "Betweener Talk: An Indigenous Dialogue on Postcolonial Class, Praxis, and Justice," is a postcolonial and polyvocal construction of a scholarship committed to combat racism, sexism, and classism in modern America society. This is what Dr. Moreira wants to do with his scholarship; to engage in other postcolonial/polyvocal projects with his students, colleagues in and with the community where he lives and labor.
