After completing a Ph.D. in social geography on LGBT+ refugees in France, I currently serve as Postdoctoral Researcher at Géographie-Cités. I also teach at Sciences Po Paris.

My research intersects social and political geography, as well as migration studies and gender studies. I mobilize more broadly social sciences to analyze public policies, inequalities, and exclusionary phenomena. Through my teaching activities in geography, geopolitics, and social sciences, and other endeavors, I am dedicated to bridging the gap between academic research and wider audiences. Additionally, my experiences in various NGOs have led me to engage actively in the field against inequalities and discriminations.
