My research, like myself, is in a perpetual state of evolution, and what may have inspired me before might not have the same impact today. This dynamic approach has enabled me to develop an interdisciplinary perspective, essential for comprehending the complexities of the contemporary world and our place within it. In alignment with scholars such as Michel Foucault, I view my role as an engaged intellectual who critically examines institutions and discourses, revealing the often-hidden power dynamics at play. These ideas on power and resistance significantly influence my teaching, research, and political involvements.

At present, my research focuses on urban segregation and identity politics in France, delving into the rise of the French far-right and their discourses concerning black and brown communities in the country. These explorations are part of my commitment to shedding light on pertinent social issues and contributing to meaningful discussions that can lead to positive change. With an unwavering dedication to intellectual curiosity and a fervent belief in the potential of education to shape a better future, I eagerly anticipate the exciting possibilities for evolution and discovery that lie ahead in my academic journey at Dartmouth.
