About
I hold a Licence de Philosophie (Paris), a Master of Science in the Anthropology of Learning and Cognition (London School of Economics) and a PhD in Social Anthropology (London School of Economics).
Before studying anthropology I have worked as a primary school teacher in France and Germany, and as a high school teacher of philosophy in France and Mauritius.
In March 2012 I successfully defended my doctoral dissertation, based on 25 months of fieldwork, about the condition of slave descendants in the southern highlands of Madagascar. Combining ethnographic, historical and cognitive perspectives I seek to explain why free descent people still refuse to marry slave descendants even though slavery was legally abolished in the country in 1896.
I now work on the ERC-funded project 'dividnorm' (www.dividnorm.ens.fr)
