Research directions
Embedding of school trajectories in the structures and policies of education systems
This line of research develops a comprehensive, multi-level analysis of the embedding of educational trajectories in educational systems. The analysis of pathways leading (or not) to higher education integrates :
- the social determinants of educational paths
- the construction of aspirations
- school and career guidance systems
- school structures and their societal contexts
- educational policies, including diversity management and inclusion
- the intersection of educational, social and migration policies
Sociology of organizations and sociology of professions
This line of research, at the crossroads of the sociology of organizations and professions, is particularly interested in the governance of universities through the prism of academic careers.
- Modes of governance and career transformation
- Academic markets
- Geographic migration and internationalization of careers
- Social origin and academic careers
- Gender of the career
Socio-historical comparisons
While I use a variety of methods in my research (multilevel approach, quantitative analyses, interview, focus groups, etc.), I have developed a comparative socio-historical approach that allows me to analyze the long-term embedding of higher education in the globalization process.
