Who I Am
Sociologist & Philosopher
Hello!
I studied Sociology and Philosophy at the Sorbonne University, where I worked on the Roma immigrant children’s academic trajectories in France.
My research focuses on the interweaving of the various factors the influence the Roma immigrant children’s access to schooling and their academic trajectories such as the specificities of the Roma migration flow, the socio-cultural characteristics of the Roma family and the migration policies in France.
