I have devoted most of my professional career to applied research in the social sciences and to consulting. For many years, I led studies, supported teams, and worked on issues where a fine-grained understanding of situations had to lead to useful analyses, practical tools, and forms of decision support. This experience taught me never to set intellectual rigor against social usefulness or the complexity of reality, while continuing to pursue my own fields of inquiry at the intersection of methodological rigor and epistemological reflection.
I work at the boundaries of several disciplines, with sociology and philosophical inquiry as my foundation. My career has also included a practice of art photography, as well as a sustained interest in creative forms of mediation and knowledge-sharing. I pay particular attention to moments when individuals, groups, or organizations seek to regain a hold on what they are experiencing, to define their own concerns, or to invent forms of collective action.
As a researcher at the University of Liège, I am currently pursuing doctoral research in political and social sciences devoted to the right to participation through the prism of childhood. In this work, I explore what childhood, in its different ecologies, reveals about our democracies, their promises, and their contradictions.
This website is intended to reflect that trajectory and this body of work, across research, publications, projects, and reflection.
