Fernanda Oliveira De Almeida PhD student

I am a PhD candidate in Human Geography at Stockholm University, with a background in Geography (bachelor’s degree) from the University of São Paulo (USP, Brazil) and a joint master’s degree in Latin American Studies (LAGLOBE), specializing in Urban Geography, from Sorbonne Nouvelle University, Stockholm University, and the University of Salamanca. My research focuses on the impacts of digitalization to informal vendors in the Global South, with a particular interest in how local labour markets adapt to emerging socio-spatial and economic challenges. Geographically, my work is focused on Latin America and Africa, where I explore the intersections of informality, urban change, and digital transformations.
