Her research critically examines conventions perceived as 'necessary' or 'natural,' such as electoral duopoly in U.S. politics and the sex/gender distinction. She has authored two books: one on storytelling in political theory and another analyzing the normalization of two-party dominance in American democracy. Current projects include studies on political representation and the cross-Atlantic intellectual exchange between French and American political theorists.
While no scientific awards are explicitly mentioned in the provided text, her scholarly contributions address power structures, democratic practices, and ecological politics.
