Medeiros

I like animals, politics, reading about economics. I don't like to cook (yet) and I don't like cold wind. Occasionally, I like to program some stuff and take care of my little corner of the Internet.

I'm an ecologial and environmental activist (I help some organisations from time to time), I support degrowth and I lean towards ecossocialism and Bookchin's libertatian municipalism. I'm a member of DiEM25, the European Society for Ecological Economics, Bloco de Esquerda and the portuguese Degrowth Network.

I'm trying to surface humanity's potential, in a fair and sustainable way. That means I'm not really interested in making ultra-advanced robots, but more interested in helping people from the whole world live together and be happy. I'm in favor of standards, free libre open source software (just like this wesbite!), copyleft licensing and cooperatives instead of monopolies.

I'm passionate about Doughnut Economics and political, social and ecological/environmental economics. I used to be a progammer. I've studied System Dynamics (think complex systems) at the University of Bergen and at the moment I'm a Political Economy PhD student at ISCTE, so that one day I can be an economist or build policies; who knows, maybe for the Europen Union or maybe in Lisbon.

I live in Lisbon, Portugal.

If you wanna see a picture of me, here you have it!

This website tries to be as sustainable as possible: we save energy on your device and on servers. It's powered by renewables (courtesy of Uberspace) and heavily inspired by Low Tech Magazine's solar version.

Please do note that this home page is the only page that is translated to English. The rest of the website is only in Portuguese. This might be annoying for many people, but it serves two purposes: to take the weight of translation off of me, so I have a bit more motivation to update it, but also to resist English colonising the entire Internet. You are most welcome, of course, to translate the entire website to your favourite reading language! :)
