About

Isadora Cardoso is a PhD student, writer, community organiser and consultant based in Berlin.

Their doctoral project is based at the Institute for Sociology at Freie Universität Berlin, Germany. It focuses on discourses and practices from collective movements and communities who struggle for climate justice through intersectional organising, based in diverse geographies of resistance and scales of activism, including the Brazilian Amazon, eGoli/Johannesburg, Berlin and the international climate conferences (COPs). Through the dissertation, Isadora asked movements and members of communities most affected by intersectional injustices what does climate justice mean in relation to their own bodies, territories and knowledges, taking into consideration their histories of resistance to colonialism and systemic oppressions.

Their non-academic work spans qualitative research consultancies for international climate foundations to project management for gender NGOs, and curation of poetic and activist events grounded in the entanglements of the socio-environmental. Isadora has been a member of scholar activist and creatives' networks based in Brazil and Germany, committed to intersectional queer liberation and anti-colonial climate justice.
