Gisele Almeida is a Teacher in Politics / International Relations at Cardiff University. She works on the confluence of history, public memory and human rights, specifically on collective identity formation and the role of public memory policies in international relations. A second research stream looks at the role of policymakers in shaping a society’s views on a contentious past. A third research stream focuses on questions of transitional justice in international politics, including divided societies, political conflict, and the normatisation of state-sponsored memory-making. Her research emphasises historical representations constructed by social and political discourses and their implications for democracy, public opinion, social cohesion and human rights. She engages with theoretical and methodological debates in the fields of history and disputed memories employing qualitative methods, notably discourse analysis in her research. Her regional focus centres on Latin America.

Gisele was a visiting researcher at the Brazil Institute based at King’s College London. Her work has been published among others in History and Theory, Politika, Public History Weekly, and História da Historiografia. She is the author of "Memória do Autoritarismo no Brasil: de FHC a Dilma", forthcoming with Hucitec.
