Lecturer in Political Science, University of Haute-Alsace Member, SAGE Laboratory, Université de Strasbourg Research Focus: Sociology of Collective Action, Public Policies, Voting Behavior, Gender and Politics His research interests center on the sociology of collective action, particularly the mobilization of victims and the role of testimony, commemoration, and emotions in protest. He investigates how public policies shape victim assistance and how legal and psychological frameworks are socially used. His work on the conservative working-class vote and cross-border workers highlights economic and spatial dimensions of political behavior. Gender and politics remain a consistent theme, especially in political scandals and rural representation. He also explores the practical logic of political recruitment, emphasizing informal and gendered practices. The analysis of his publications reveals a strong focus on victimhood as a sociopolitical construct, with recurring themes of memory, emotion, and institutional recognition. His work spans qualitative case studies on events like the AZF disaster, theoretical reflections on event-based mobilization, and comparative analyses of victim movements. The interdisciplinary nature of his research integrates political science, sociology, media studies, and gender studies, often employing discourse and narrative analysis. Key trends include the emotional dimensions of collective action, the gendered nature of political spaces, and the interplay between law, psychology, and social movements.
