Biography
Rita Serra, biologist, PhD. Researcher at CES since 2008. Currently, I am the coordinator of the project AUTICORPOS - Giving body to mental health in autism, co-financed by INR - National Institute for Rehabilitation - and member of the board of APVA - Associação Portuguesa Voz do Autista. My interests span science and technology studies, diversity and commons, participatory research, and user-centered research. I am interested in first-person perspectives on autism and the participation of autistic people in autism and neurodiversity research. I write fiction and non-fiction essays and stories for blogs, newspapers and Revista Osso.
