Im an anthropologist and a senior researcher at CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), in Centre Norbert Elias, Marseille. I earned a PhD from Aix-Marseille Université on Senegalese migrant women traders in Marseille, a subject I continued to investigate for several years and which led to the publication of my book Travail, sexualité et migration : les commerçantes sénégalaises à Marseille. Before being recruited to the CNRS, I completed three post-doctoral studies and participated in several research projects. During these works I led a crossed reflection on the themes of women migration, migrant enterprise and return migration, while questioning the very notions of mobility and migration.
My current research project focuses on a comparative study of the uses of law and on return migration of the descendants of European emigrants from Latin America to several European countries.
