Dodi Tavares Borges Leal (born 1984) is an academic, performer and trans rights activist who, is a professor in performing arts at the Federal University of Southern Bahia (UFSB) and an associate researcher at the State University of Santa Catarina (UDESC).[1] [2] [3] Her 2018 appointment at UFSB meant that she was the first transgender arts professor to take up a permanent employment in public higher education in the world.[4] [5] [6]

As a performer and curator, Leal's work intersects with issues around trans identities.[7] [8] [9] She also initiated the 'luzvesti' concept, incorporating lighting design for stage into gender studies for the first time.[10] [11] Along with Lúcia Romano, Marta Baião, Nina Caetano, Sarah Duarte, Stela Fischer and Yasmin Nogueira, she works in the field of performance and gender studies in Brazil.[12]

In 2023, she was appointed as a visiting lecturer at the Escola de Comunicações e Artes (ESA) to teach on travesti storytelling and performance. The course was subject to transphobic attacks on social media, but was defended publicly by the University of São Paulo.[13]
