Morgane Delmas

Morgane Delmas is an early-career sociologist and researcher affiliated with the Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Solidarity, Societies, Territories (LISST) at the University of Toulouse. As a "Young doctor" at LISST-Cers, she focuses on the intersection of education, disability, and gender within contemporary French society.

Her research examines how cognitive disabilities such as dyslexia and dyspraxia challenge traditional educational frameworks and create new categories of school failure. Dr. Delmas's work particularly highlights the often-unseen labor of mothers navigating complex educational and medical systems for their children with learning differences.

Her publications reveal consistent themes across her scholarly work, demonstrating how educational, medical, and psychological professionals negotiate expertise around "dys" children, with mothers often bearing significant coordination responsibilities. Her research shows how these mothers become central figures in educational support systems despite their labor being seldom acknowledged in public discourse or sociological research.

Dr. Delmas's work connects micro-level family experiences with broader questions about educational systems, social inequality, and the medicalization of learning differences. Her scholarship contributes to understanding the gendered dimensions of educational support systems and the impact of cognitive disability classifications on family life and professional trajectories.
