Profile

Vera Gonçalves is a NOVA-FCSH Master graduate in Archaeology. Her master's degree thesis entitled "Rediscovering the divine feminine in Mesopotamian glyptic - The Diyala Region (4th-2nd millennia BC)" seeks an interdisciplinary approach between the Archaeology of Religions and the History of Religions. In parallel, she participated in several dissemination activities directed at the society and for the scientific community, being also involved in multiple archaeological campaigns, namely in Khor Kalba (Sharjah United Arab Emirates).
Since 2020, she has been a research assistant at CHAM- Centre for Humanities, NOVA FCSH & UAc, integrating, firstly, the group Reception of Antiquity and, presently, the research group Environment, Interactions and Globalization, being the symbolic representations of nature and the religious syncretism some of the topics of discussion.
Currently, she is doing a PhD in Ancient History at NOVA-FCSH, with a scholarship financed by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), studying the syncretic and dissociative dynamics in the (re)construction processes of deities in Mesopotamia and their relation with the official and personal religious discourses.
