Vinicius Saragiotto Magalhães do Valle is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Núcleo Religiões no Mundo Contemporâneo (Religions in the Contemporary World Research Group) of the Centro Brasileiro de Análise e Planejamento (Brazilian Center for Analysis and Planning, CEBRAP), funded by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP). He holds a PhD and an MA in Political Science from the University of São Paulo (USP), and works at the intersections of political behavior, religion and politics, political pluralism, qualitative and mixed methods in the social sciences. His current research examines how pluralism, racial and religious identifications, and the conflicts and negotiations around difference are understood and lived in everyday interactions. He investigates how people, groups, and institutions interpret and manage difference across ordinary settings—family, workplaces, congregations, neighborhoods, and digital environments—and how these practices connect to political attitudes, moral values, and perceptions of democratic legitimacy.  At CEBRAP, he contributes to projects on religious pluralism, democratic quality, and the public sphere. Beyond academia, he has collaborated with civil-society organizations and opinion research institutes on studies of evangelical publics, public opinion, and political communication.
