Mathaus Campos is a doctoral candidate in Sociology at the University of Oklahoma, where they are a Dodge Family College of Arts and Sciences Graduate Fellow. Their dissertation examines how Quilombola women leaders in Barcarena, Brazil, resist environmental injustice and industrial pollution while navigating institutional obstruction from mining companies and local government agencies. Through their research, they analyze how these women experience and challenge the gendered burdens of climate coloniality within postcolonial power structures. Beyond their work on environmental resistance and climate justice, Campos’s work explores queer studies and fatphobia, examining how these intersect with broader systems of oppression.
