Livia Azevedo Lima serves as an Affiliate Lecturer in the Latin America and Caribbean Studies program at the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies, University of Washington, where her cross-disciplinary scholarship bridges cinema studies, literature, and social justice.
Her research critically examines how aesthetic forms intersect with political and social inequality through a decolonial feminist framework. Key investigations include representations of female characters across Brazil's historical contexts—from the Estado Novo (1937-1945) and military dictatorship (1964-1985) to 1990s neoliberalism—with recent essays analyzing gendered death and visual motifs of precarity in Latin American cinema. Primary research domains encompass Latin American Cinema, Brazilian Literature, Gender Studies, and Visual Culture.
Professionally, Lima brings over ten years of publishing expertise as an editor for institutions including the Brazilian Center of Analysis and Planning (Cebrap) and museums, alongside coordinating the Los Angeles Review of Books Publishing Workshop. She actively curates the Travessias–Brazilian Film Festival at Seattle's Northwest Film Forum, demonstrating sustained engagement with Brazilian cultural production.
