She studies the processes of education, including informal, nonformal and formal, to understand how people are encultured into governance structures and how the issues and structures themselves are constructed. https://coimbra.academia.edu/AlisonNeilson https://www.cics.nova.fcsh.unl.pt/people/integrated-researchers/alison-neilson http://www.ces.uc.pt/en/investigacao/projetos-de-investigacao/projetos-financiados/education-for-active-citizenship
