I'm Iasmim Amiden dos Santos, a Brazilian Ph.D. candidate at the School of Journalism at Michigan State University. I hold an M.Sc. in Science Communication and Public Engagement from the University of Edinburgh and a B.A. in Journalism from the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (Brazil).

My research focuses on journalism practices and socio-environmental discourses in independent media across Latin America. I also study science communication, with an emphasis on understanding how the intersectional identities of scientists from historically underrepresented groups shape the ways they communicate. Alongside my research, I teach journalism and enjoy working with students as they develop the knowledge and skills to understand the complexity of social and environmental issues.

In both my research and teaching, I seek to question extractivist approaches to communication and capitalist, patriarchal, and colonial perspectives while exploring alternative ways of producing and sharing knowledge. 

Here you'll find more about my research, teaching, and the projects that excite me and reflect the way I hope to contribute to a less unequal and less violent society.
