I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute for Research in Migration and Society (Concordia University, Canada) and I hold a PhD in Sociology (Université Laval, QC). My research broadly examines migrants’ trajectories to understand how they are being shaped by the interaction between migration governance and migrants’ agency. I approach this question through qualitative methods, with a focus on North-North migration. I am mostly interested by the intersections between migration, citizenship, class, and the life course.
I have a broad expertise in temporary migration in Quebec and Canada, with research led on two-step migration, international students, temporary migrant labour in the hospitality and restaurant industry, and the impact of a crisis on precarious migrants.
I am also studying how the digitalization of migration governance affects the work of migration intermediaries like immigration lawyers in Canada (Bridging Divides), and how the French-Quebec regime of immigration facilitation is implemented and to what extent it produces a nationality privilege in migration (FRQSC-funded).
Finally, I have a deep interest for art-based research method, with a forthcoming co-edited book on the alliance between comics and social sciences.
