Biography

Gomes was born in Angola on 26 June 1972.[1] She grew up in Guinea-Bissau.[2] She studied in Portugal at the Technical University of Lisbon and graduated in 1995 with a degree in Political Science, with a specialization in African Studies.[3] She studied for her doctorate at the University of Cagliari and graduated in 2002.[3] From 2006 to 2010, she held a post-doctoral fellowship at the same university.[3] From 2014 to 2018, Gomes researched and taught Ethnic and African Studies at the Federal University of Bahia.[4] As of 2020 she was an Associate Researcher at the National Institute of Studies and Research in Guinea-Bissau.[4] She is a member of the Executive Committee of the Council for the Development of Research in Social Sciences in Africa (CODESRIA),[4] a member of the National Institute of Studies and Research (INEP) and a member of the African Borderland Network (ABORNE).[1] She collaborated on the Biographies of African Women database, hosted by the Federal University of Bahia.[5]

The experience of women in Lusophone countries in Africa and their anti-colonial resistance is central to her research.[1][6] In 2017, Gomes worked on a comparative research project, which examined the experiences of African and Afro-Brazilian women from a global south perspective.[7] Since both Guinea-Bissau and Brazil were Portuguese colonies, examining how the colonial legacies on gender differ is an important research topic.[8] She has also worked on the role that women from Guine-Bissau have played in intellectual production in the country.[7] In 2019. she lectured on women, pan-Africanism and Marxism at the Faculty of Law of UFBA.[9] She is an expert on the life of Teodora Inácia Gomes.[10]
