Gabriela is a psychologist who loves research and teaching. Working
in the field of social psychology and its interfaces with public health
and education, she has made her doctoral study a possibility of
converging these interests. In her Ph.D research, she analyses critical
moments in processes of permanent education carried out with
professionals of public mental health services of a Brazilian city. With
this, Gabriela emphasize the centrality of the conversational process
to promote transformation of meanings and practices, highlighting the
facilitation based on responsiveness as a way to provide the ground for
building educational contexts.
In her master’s study, she was interested in the process of
disclosure of Brazilian public health system (Sistema Único de Saúde –
SUS) in newspaper. With this, Gabriela describes the process of
discursive construction that places SUS as an ineffective system.
She obtained her Doctoral degree at the University of São Paulo –
USP, with a visiting period at the Centre for Mental Health and
Substance Abuse at the University College of Southeast Norway, Norway
(under the supervision of Professor Ottar Ness Ph.D).
Gabriela currently works as an advisor to the management of SUS in
São Paulo, specifically with permanent education and as an ombudsman.
She has also worked as a temporary professor at the Federal University
of Uberlândia and at the Federal University of Triangulo Mineiro.
