Diana Soeiro is Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Nova Institute of Philosophy (FCSH/ UNL) since 2012.

General research interest: Aesthetics and Ontology. Specific research topics: Philosophy of Space, Space and Body, Architecture and Urbanism, Anthropology and Psychiatry.

Current guiding questions: In what way it is different to ask: ‘what is space’ and ‘how do we live space’? How does architecture influence our space concept? How does one body orients itself in space? How do we build a sense of territory?
