Amanda Quitério de Gois
Amanda Quitério de Gois is a Communications and Research Officer at Data-Pop Alliance, working under the Communications team and the Technology and Democracy Program.
She holds an MA in Literary Theory and Criticism from Universidade Estadual Paulista ‘Júlio de Mesquita Filho’ (UNESP), a public university in Brazil, where she was awarded a CAPES scholarship (2021–2023) for academic excellence. Her thesis explored gender representations in A Noite Escura e Mais Eu (1995), a novel by the Brazilian author Lygia Fagundes Telles, in dialogue with feminist theory. Amanda also holds a teacher diploma and a BA in Portuguese and English Language and Literature from the same university.
Alongside her work at Data-Pop Alliance, Amanda is also Content Leader at Eureka, a free platform and social network for social change through books and movies. She leads content production and coordinates outreach and engagement strategies—particularly in Brazil. Through a collaboration between Eureka and DPA, she has co-organized trilingual book and movie clubs that explore the intersection of gender, technology, and social justice.
Prior to her role at Data-Pop Alliance, Amanda also worked as an English teacher for five years and has contributed to several volunteer initiatives such as translator, transcriber, literature teacher, and mentor in a university-affiliated college preparation program.
Her main interests include communication strategies, gender and sexuality studies, the societal impacts of technologies such as deepfakes and AI-generated media, and the broader implications of these areas on society, culture, and democracy.
