Co-author of chapter “A contribuição da entrevista apreciativa em um processo terapêutico colaborativo” (The contribution of appreciative interview in a collaborative therapeutic process) together with Maria Fernanda Teixeira Costa and Vera T. Maluly Pacheco, from the book “Práticas Colaborativas e Dialógicas em distintos contextos e populações: um diálogo entre teoria e prática” (Collaborative and dialogic practices in different contexts and populations: a dialogue between theory and practices) edited by Marilene Grandesso and published by CRV publisher, São Paulo, 2017.

Interested in dialogic processes and its developments, Graziella focused her dissertation in her Master’s degree on the educational context as she believes that this is a fertile territory to disseminate the dialogic and collaborative practices. The dissertation is based on the Social Construccionism as theoretical reference, hence she considers conflict as an opportunity to develop dialogue, in the attempt to desconstruct the traditional relationship between teachers and students which is based on the authoritarianism and discipline. She suggests that giving voice to the students it improves the comprehension of conflicts, giving room to the positive effects of the shared responsibilities between them and their teachers, within a more harmonious relation in a more productive educational environment.
