I work at the intersection of politics (electoral, social movement, identity) and popular culture (especially social media). My work often brings together questions of race, gender, sexuality, class, and various ethnic differences with issues of disinformation and participation. I have also been a union delegate in France, representing employee rights, including those of inclusivity and non-discrimination. I am a professor at the American University of Paris, where I teach courses about many of the aforementioned issues in a comparative cultural context.

Short description:
senior economist at the national statistical office of Luxembourg (STATEC). Specialized on well-being studies with a focus on sustainable and inclusive economic growth. My studies lead me to argue for a shift from GDP as the preeminent measure of quality of life to well-being, and propose that societies should invest in the conditions for better social relations. Such a reorganization requires a new cultural movement, which I call neo-humanism.

I am a computational social scientist in the Department of Politics at the University of Exeter. My work focuses on questions of public involvement and engagement in environmental decision making. In my research I explore two related themes – how the structure and dynamics of inter-organizational networks affect policy change, and how the structure and dynamics of belief networks affect behavioral change. Substantively, I study how people try to bring about societal change in response to political and environmental concerns. Methodologically, the need to grapple with these often complex phenomena requires the use and development of techniques for handling large, dynamic, and relational datasets.
