Issu d'un parcours universitaire croisant science politique et sociologie, j'ai développé deux axes de recherche. Le premier concerne les transformations contemporaines du pouvoir urbain à travers la construction métropolitaine. Au-delà des changements institutionnels, je m'intéresse aux mobilisations d’élus, d’experts, de la société civile en faveur ou contre la métropolisation, et ce que ces mobilisations nous disent de la démocratie locale. Le second axe de recherche concerne un tout autre type de mobilisation : le mouvement des gilets jaunes. Je m’intéresse particulièrement à la structuration interne du mouvement et son évolution, aux rapports de pouvoir qui s’y déploient, ainsi qu’à expérience singulière de politisation qu’il constitue pour celles et ceux qui y prennent part.

• 2021 : Doctorat de science politique – Université de Lyon – France
• 2012 : Master Politiques publiques et gouvernement comparés - Sciences Po Lyon – France

• Metropolitan construction: sociology of territorial reforms, sociology of local power, metropolization, state-territory relations
• Yellow vests movement: local mobilizations, (dis)engagement, politicization
