Emanuelle Rodrigues Dos Santos

Emanuelle Rodrigues Dos Santos is an Associate Professor specializing in Modern Languages, with a focus on postcolonial and decolonial studies. Her research examines the intersections of literature, memory, and identity in Portuguese-speaking Africa, Brazil, and global contexts. Key areas include postcolonial conditions, decolonial methodologies, and the reconfiguration of world literature frameworks.

Her work bridges literary analysis with broader socio-political issues, such as decolonization in higher education and the representation of marginalized voices. Notable contributions include a 2025 monograph on late postcolonial reconfigurations and a 2022 article advocating for decolonizing language studies in UK academia. She frequently collaborates across institutions, including co-investigating a 2025 project on Amazonian cultural dynamics.

Publications span peer-reviewed journals and edited volumes, addressing topics like hypercontemporary novels, world-system theory, and eco-critical perspectives in environmental fiction. Her interdisciplinary approach integrates cultural studies, memory studies, and theoretical frameworks from postcolonial and decolonial thought.

Dr. Dos Santos actively engages in academic networks through invited lectures, conference presentations, and editorial roles. Recent activities include a keynote on decolonial feminisms in London (2022) and participation in workshops on transcultural and intersectional methodologies.
