Izabel Barros is a PhD student at the University of Lausanne and a visiting scholar at SEHE-UCR. Decolonial and feminist activist in Brazil and Switzerland, her dissertation explores the reproductive strategies implemented by Swiss plantation owners in Bahia-Brazil and how enslaved women navigated and resisted these. By focusing on women's experiences, her work challenges male-centred Swiss historiography and highlights the transatlantic entanglements of racial capitalism, slavery and patriarchy. In this seminar, she presents findings from her ongoing research on natality incentives, resistance and their impact within transimperial networks linking Brazil and Switzerland.
