Marcelline Bengaly serves as Full Professor in the School of Counselling and Guidance within Laval University's Faculty of Education. Her research bridges theoretical psychology and practical intervention through three interconnected programs focused on identity reconstruction during complex life transitions.
Her research interests span:
- Constructivist approaches for supporting immigrants and refugees through psychosocial transitions
- Analysis of PhD holders' career paths outside academia and associated identity transformations
- Digital inequality challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa with development of context-specific solutions
Her funded research portfolio includes current projects with SSHRC, FRQSC, New Frontiers in Research Fund, and CERIC, focusing on:
- Digital skills development in Burkina Faso (2023-2026)
- Canada-Sub-Saharan Africa digital education comparison (2022-2024)

Notable recognition includes the Faculty of Education's Graduate Excellence Award. Her research directly informs practical resources like the professional guide for immigrant-serving practitioners developed through her SSHRC-funded projects.
Bengaly actively mentors graduate students through specialized seminars and research participation. She directs the Canadian Observatory on PhD Career Paths - Canada's only comprehensive resource tracking doctoral graduate trajectories across disciplines. Her international collaborations include Paris-based INETOP and CRTD research centers, with field projects currently active in Burkina Faso.
