During the past academic year, the Lemann Fellowship has allowed me to tweak my initial research proposal and advance my thesis work. I have refocused my project on a broader overview of how political violence impacts female politicians in Brazil differently—especially regarding the type of violence inflicted upon them. For this new version, I also delimited a timeframe that allows me to investigate how violence against women in politics (VAWIP) played out during Bolsonaro’s term. I was able to finish the literature review section, and after performing an initial analysis, I found that psychological violence is also prevalent. Further analysis is still needed to answer my other questions, such as whether women of color and/or progressive women are more easily targeted in institutional politics. The Lemann Fellowship also provided me with the time and resources to work on efforts to share my research with other colleagues in academia— alongside two co-authors, I had the opportunity to submit my work to a student conference in Brazil, as well as present a poster on the progress of my work at the Lemann Graduate forum.
