Luíza Cerioli is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the collaborative research project etractivism.de at University of Kassel.

She recently submitted her dissertation in Political Science at the Centre for Near and Middle East Studies (CNMS) at the University of Marburg. Her Ph.D. thesis develops a nuanced framework of international relations to cope with the complexity of studying multifaced relations between states. She holds an International Relations and Comparative Foreign Policy Master from the University of Brasília (UnB), and her alma mater is the University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). She is also an academic member of BRaS (Brazilian Research and Study Center) and a PhD fellow at SEPAD (Sectarianism, Proxies and De-sectarianisation).
