Luiza Cortesão is Emeritus Professor of the University of Porto and Jubilate Full Professor of the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of the University of Porto. She graduated in Biology from the University of Porto and obtained her doctorate in 1988 from Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of the University of Porto with entitled thesis "Contribution to Analysing the Possibility and Means of Producing Innovation: The Case of Teacher Training", under the supervision of Stephen R. Stoer and Marcel Postic.
She is the founder of the Paulo Freire Institute in Portugal and President of its Board of Directors, where she carries out research and extension work. She is also the coordinator of the Paulo Freire Resource Centre at the University of Porto.
Luiza Cortesão is a researcher at CIIE - Centre for Research and Intervention in Education, where she has carried out various research and intervention projects, particularly in the area of education and cultural diversity. She specialises in intercultural issues and Freirean studies, diversity, citizenship, pedagogical innovation, school success/unsuccess, assessment, action research and training. She has published books and articles in national and international scientific journals in the field of education. She wrote, among other titles, ‘Being a Teacher: A Trade on the Verge of Extinction?’ (Ed. Afrontamento).
She has collaborated for several years on different projects with international organisations such as UNESCO and OECD/CERI. As a UNESCO consultant, she carried out various missions in Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde and São Tomé. For many years she collaborated in project planning and evaluation work for the Portuguese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in projects implemented with different Portuguese communities in Europe. In 2002, the then President of the Republic, Dr Jorge Sampaio, awarded her the rank of Grand Officer of the Order of Public Instruction, honouring the high services she has rendered to the cause of education and teaching. In 2022, she was honoured with the Medal of Scientific Merit, a distinction instituted by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education, which aims to reward national or foreign individuals who have distinguished themselves by making a valuable and exceptional contribution to the development of science or scientific culture in Portugal. The medal was presented by the Minister for Science, Technology and Higher Education, Elvira Fortunato, at the opening session of the Science 2022 Meeting.

Utopias of Education in the 1st Republic: what contributions from Children’s Literature (1910-1926)
Project supported through CIIE's Multi-Year Funding (Base Funding, ref. UIDB/00167/2020), awarded by the Foundation for Science and Technology, IP. (within the framework of the 1st edition of CIIE's 2020-2023 internal call for research projects)
The project starts with the observation that in the short period that the 1st Republic lasted (1910-1926), a surprising number of intellectuals from various fields were interested and produced prolifically in children's and youth literature. The ideology of the First Republic attributed a significant role to education as a promoter of the development of citizenship values. In this context, the present project aims to analyze to what extent children's literature of the First Republic, produced by Portuguese authors, was articulated with that idea. With this purpose, we will identify those works' situations, actions, characters, and contexts that align with the Republican ideology. The project will identify, collect, and analyze children's and youth literature produced during the 1st Republic. This analysis will later allow the conception of training strategies and materials to disseminate the results in educational and cultural communities. This work is markedly multi and interdisciplinary, calling for contributions from literary analysis, history to sociology of education, seeking to rescue a cultural heritage articulated with EU's current concern (policy of memory and for the tangible and intangible heritage in its potential to confront populism and authoritarian drifts that crosses the European space, spilling over into the educational field).
