Rogério Meireles Pinto, PhD, LCSW

Active | Inducted in 2023

Bio

Born in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Rogério M. Pinto uses mixed methods, including visual and performing arts, in community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil. Funded by the National Institutes of Health and other sources, Pinto investigates strategies for improving accessibility of social and health services (HIV and drug-use prevention and care) through cognitive/behavioral and social transformational interventions. Pinto’s work aims to help all people, and particularly racial/ethnic and sexual minoritized groups, engage in critical consciousness raising and social liberation. Pinto’s work — over one hundred peer-reviewed publications and dozens art pieces — has been published in highly regarded peer-reviewed publications and shown in juried art exhibitions. Reflected in his scholarly/artistic work is Pinto’s marginalization as a gender non-confirming, mixed-race and Latinx immigrant.
