 Janaina Campos Lobo is a professor at the Institute of Humanities at the University of International Integration of Afro-Brazilian Lusophony (UNILAB), a public university in the Brazilian Northeast that fosters a process of internationalization through agreements with Portuguese-speaking countries, and particularly African countries, besides other countries in the global south.

 She holds a PhD and a MSC in Social Anthropology from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS/Brazil). She was a visiting researcher in the Politics Department at The New School for Social Research (NSSR), in New York in 2022. She also serves as a researcher at the Center for Anthropology and Citizenship (NACi/UFRGS/Brazil). She has worked for five years (2012-2017) as an analyst and researcher in Agrarian Reform and Development, precisely in the sector that supports black communities, at INCRA/Brazil, an institution of the Brazilian federal government.

 Her work focuses on Afro-descendant communities in Latin America, especially in Ecuador and Brazil, and reflects, based on ethnographic research, on development and ancestral territoriality. Her current project investigates climate change from the perspective of Afro-descendant communities, discussing the strong relationship between these communities and their surroundings, starting from climate ethnography that highlights territorial ties and other connections beyond the human component.
