His research centers on political socialization, political behavior, and the sociology of professional groups, with a particular interest in atypical political commitments such as far-right activism among educators. He is currently completing a thesis on the political commitment of civil servants and was a member of the LEA ControverSES research collective (2016–2019), which examined controversies in the teaching of Economic and Social Sciences.
His recent publications explore the trajectories of National Front-affiliated teachers, analyzing how dissonant socialization leads to atypical political engagement. Key works include Deviance and Social Control (2017) and recent articles on far-right teacher activism (2023–2024). His publications span book chapters, academic articles, and contributions to competitive exam preparation materials.
He teaches methodology in political science and sociology, including courses on social science methods, public economics, and oral presentation skills. He has held administrative roles such as Educational Manager of the PEI College Equal Opportunity Program and second-year educational manager.
His academic contributions reflect a strong engagement with contemporary political issues, especially the intersection of education, public service, and extremism. While no scientific awards or student advisees are listed, his ongoing research and teaching underscore his active role in the academic community.
