Vera Gonçalves is a NOVA-FCSH Master graduate in Archaeology. Her master degree thesis entitled Rediscovering the divine feminine in Mesopotamian glyptic - The Diyala Region (4th-2nd millennia BC) seeks an interdisciplinary approach between Archaeology of Religions and History of Religions. The (re)construction processes of Mesopotamian divine figures, diachronically, are the main goals of the studies in the last few years. In parallel, she participated in several dissemination activities for the society and to the scientific community, being also involved in multiple archaeological campaigns, namely in Khor Kalba (Sharjah United ArabEmirates). Since 2020 she is a research assistant in CHAM- Centre for Humanities, NOVA FCSH & UAc, integrating, firstly, the group Reception of Antiquity and, presently, the research group Environment, Interactions and Globalization, being the religious syncretism and the symbolic representations of nature some of the several components of discussion of the team. Currently, she is doing a PhD in Ancient History at NOVA-FCSH, with a scholarship financed by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), studying the syncretic and dissociative dynamics in the(re)construction processes of deities in Mesopotamia and their relation with the official and personal religious discourses.
