July 2018 - July 2021 - Principal Investigator of the project "The Portuguese overseas identity in the context of the social network analysis"
For my project results, I have received the highest grade with distinction in 2021 by the National Science Center of Poland.
The description of the project:
The project aimed to analyze the Portuguese overseas identity in the Atlantic Ocean basin during 1642-1755 using Social Network Analysis. The research verified the connections between the administrative structures and the inhabitants of the colonial outskirts. The overseas identity was regarded as result of different relationships formed between diverse social actors. In this research, we combined the history of the Portuguese colonial empire with modern tools, which are scarce research methods in the existing historiography in Poland and the Portuguese-speaking regions. This provided an innovative approach to understanding the Portuguese empire from a broader perspective, analyzing it as a system of colonial interconnections.
