I also work with Paul Segal (King’s College London) on the links between income inequalities and regimes of care and social reproduction; with Léa Renard (Freie Universität Berlin), on the politics and the challenges of using and developing survey data that works for research on intersectional inequalities; and with Vincent Dubois (Science Po Strasbourg) on quantifying the evolution of how parliamentarians talk about benefit fraud, using computational methods. I have a PhD in Sociology from LSE.edit

This article seeks to describe the political shift towards increasingly intransigent views on social and employment issues, and, more precisely, the promotion of surveillance and stricter control of welfare recipients. It is based on the analysis of parliamentary questions posed in the French National Assembly from 1986 to 2017 (n = 1108). At the beginning of the period studied, questions about welfare fraud were rare — in fact, almost non-existent — as were suggestions to increase the monitoring of recipients. Over the years, however, these issues gained in prominence, ultimately becoming a key element of political debate. This evolution revealed a gradual hardening of positions, particularly with regard to the most precarious segments of society, and a concomitant weakening of any discourse that might be critical of such trends. In conclusion, we examine how the widespread dissemination of this issue in political debates went hand-in-hand with increased and stricter control over welfare recipients.

International migration and modern means of transportation and communication make it easier for people to meet and form relationships across borders and national origins. The growth of academic interest in marriage migration and family migration has led to greater attention being paid to (im)migrant families and couples and the formation of mixed unions between migrants and natives. While migrant women were long overlooked in migration studies, they are now established subjects of research. However, the (re)production of gender inequalities through migration remains neglected, especially in quantitative research. This PhD research seeks to address this gap through a comparative study of migrants' couple formation and gendered dynamics in France and the United Kingdom. Starting with a critical, historical and political examination of survey data on mixedness and migration in both countries, it investigates the difficulty and the necessity of considering migration as a gendered ex...
