Current research
Natalia’s research has primarily involved the dynamics of displacement in and within Latin America. More currently, in the ESRC-funded ReGHID research, she is involved in studying the forced displacement of Venezuelan women to Brazil and Colombia, and of Central American women to and through Mexico, particularly regarding how border policies, humanitarian programmes, migration status and socio-economic conditions impact their access to healthcare and to live with dignity as migrant women. She had a leading responsibility in drafting interview questionnaires and focus groups scripts, in planning and conducting fieldwork in a hybrid manner, and in the analysis of research data. In parallel, she recently finished her PhD which focused on the dynamics of African and Haitian migration to Brazil, both historically and in contemporary times, with respect to accessing international protection. She is now expanding this study to Latin American more broadly. Please see some of her publications here: https://soton.academia.edu/NataliaCintra

Biography
Dr Natalia Cintra is British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the Politics and International Relations Department at the University of Southampton, with the project 'Racial Politics of Forced Displacement in Latin America'. She holds a PhD in Law from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and was previously Research Fellow in the ESRC-funded ReGHID (Redressing Gendered Health Inequalities of Displaced Women and Girls in Situations of Protracted Displacement in Central and South America) project, also at the University of Southampton, where she had a leading role in the planning, conduction and analysis of qualitative fieldwork and data. She is also Co-Investigator of the ESRC-funded project 'Mapping the Humanitarian Visa Policy in Brazil'. Natalia’s research interests lie at intersections of forced mobility, race and gender, with a specific focus on Latin America. She is particularly interested in if and how the governance of the forcibly displaced operates in racial and gendered lines, both historically and in current times. Dr Natalia has also held legal and advocacy roles in refugee and migrant non-profit organisations in the UK and Brazil. She has published in various international journals in the area of migration and asylum, as well as ethnic and racial studies. She is a Latin American immigrant in the UK, a place she has been trying to call home since 2019.
