I hold a PhD in political science. I am a specialist of the sociology public policies in the global South, with a focus on social and family policies in East and Southern Africa. My PhD, conducted at the Centre for International Studies (Sciences Po) focused on the emergence of cash transfer programmes as social protection and poverty reduction policies in Namibia and Uganda. I studied in particular the dynamics of appropriation of a travelling model as a national public policy, its translation into bureaucratic institutions responsible for its implementation, and the forms of domination, social stratification and State-citizens relations that these processes (re)produce.

Since June 2025, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (Geneva) withing the FamilEA project, which investigates through an interdisciplinary approach the dynamics of family transformations in East Africa. In particular, I study family law and policies in Uganda and Kenya and their effects on contemporary family practices. I also taught at Sciences Po Paris, Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University and Sciences Po Strasbourg.
