PROFILE


PhD in Sociology (2019), Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Brazil
Jaciane Milanezi is a postdoctoral researcher at the Brazilian Center of Analysis and Planning (CEBRAP in the Portuguese acronym) in São Paulo, Brazil. She is a visiting researcher in the Department of Anthropology and Sociology at IHEID.  Based on her ethnographic studies inside street-level bureaucracies of the Brazilian Unified Health System (or SUS) and the use of in-depth interviews with public health employees, she analyzes the relationship between race, immigration and health inequalities. Her main findings explore the implementation of health policies to Blacks and immigrants, racial reproductive stigmas, governance of women, discriminatory experiences in public health care settings and decision-making process within bureaucracies regarding inequality. Her focus has been on the construction and implementation of reproductive public policies for non-white women in the Brazilian racial relations context – Black Brazilians, Black Immigrants and Indigenous Immigrants. During her stay at IHEID, she will conduct and debate part of her current postdoctoral research on the reproductive care of Bolivians and Haitians immigrant women in the city of São Paulo. In addition, she will present data from her PhD dissertation regarding the implementation of the National Integral Health Policy for the Black Population (or Política Nacional de Saúde Integral da População Negra – PNSIPN) in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Her dissertation received an honorable mention in the 2021 prize Tabita Bentes dos Santos at the Brazilian Health Anthropology Meeting. At CEBRAP, she is a researcher at AFRO, a research center on race, gender and racial justice, and she coordinates the reading group “How does race migrate?”, a Latin-American research group dedicated to understanding the nexus between race and immigration in the contemporary world. The São Paulo Research Foundation (or FAPESP) finances her postdoctoral research and fellowship abroad.
