About

I am Associate Professor of International Politics at the Department of Political Science of ULiège. Before joining the Department in September 2022, I was postdoctoral researcher at the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) and Wiener-Anspach Visting Scholar at the University of Oxford. I hold a PhD from ULB (October 2018), which consisted in a political sociology of NATO's counterterrorism professional networks, practices and policies after 9/11. I had the occasion to teach in different universities, including ULB, the Paris School of International Affairs (PSIA) of Sciences Po Paris and Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne. I situate my work in the branches of Critical Security Studies and War Studies, and take inspiration from structural sociology (Bourdieu, Elias, Tilly) and Science and Technology Studies (STS). I am specifically interested in the historical sociology of Western organized violence, with a focus on the recent counterinsurgency and counterterrorism campaigns conducted in the context of the War on Terror. After my PhD, I developed other centres of interests, such as the role of secrecy in defence politics and research fieldwork, the militarization of migration control in the Mediterranean Sea and the social origins of weapons and military technologies. My book, adapted from my PhD dissertation, has been published under the title La fabrique de l'OTAN: contre-terrorisme et organisation transnationale de la violence (Editions de l'Université de Bruxelles, 2021). I also published my work in academic journals such as the Review of International Studies (Cambridge University Press), Defence Studies (Routledge), Critical Military Studies (Routledge), Critique internationale (Presses de Sciences Po) and Cultures & Conflits (L'Harmattan).
