Tiago Viúla de Faria

Tiago Viúla de Faria (DPhil Oxford, 2013) is the founder and co-chair of NEMUS. A research fellow of the Instituto de Estudos Medievais (IEM) at NOVA University Lisbon, he is a keen proponent of disciplinary crossover. He leads the ongoing Project FALCO, an interdisciplinary venture which has already attracted funding from Portugal’s Science Agency during 2022 and 2023 to develop research focused on “Hypothesising Human-Animal Relations in Medieval Portugal”.

Besides, he has served as a member of the IEM’s steering committee and as coordinator of the research group “Territories and Powers – a ‘Glocal’ Perspective” up until recently. His main interests also lay in late medieval statecraft, external relations and policy-making, especially between Portugal and England, having worked broadly on issues of cultural and literary transfer, in the context of late medieval diplomacy. He is the editor of Philippa of Lancaster and the Court Culture of Medieval Portugal, forthcoming with Palgrave MacMillan.
