I am a Social Anthropologist, Assistant Professor in anthropology of science at École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, C2S0, Centre Norbert Elias, France. My research interests focus on contemporary mental health issues in France within political anthropology. I coordinate the development of research programs “Telling mental health today” (MSH Paris-Nord).

In the ERC research project Towards a Critical Moral Anthropology directed by Didier Fassin, my current research concerns adolescent’s (especially working-class youth) mental health management.
