She earned her Doctorate in Sociology from Sciences Po in October 2023, specializing in the sexuality and premarital romantic relationships of college students in New Delhi, India, under the supervision of Hugues Lagrange (Sciences Po - CRIS) and Christophe Guilmoto (CEPED - Université Paris Descartes). Education Doctor of Sociology, Sciences Po (2023) Thesis: "Clandestine Intimacies. Representations, Experiences, and Perspectives on Love and Sexuality. Sexuality and Premarital Romantic Relationships of College Students in New Delhi, India." Research Interests Subtil specializes in the sociology of sexuality and gender studies within Indian society, examining how normative constraints and individualization processes shape young people's intimate lives in urban higher education settings. Her work critically analyzes digital matchmaking platforms as sites of cultural display and social stratification among India's emerging middle and upper classes, while connecting these dynamics to broader themes of social inequality and emancipation through desire. Publications Trends Her recent publications reveal a methodological blend of qualitative and quantitative approaches across two distinct research streams: Indian marriage practices and French social mobility. The 2023 working paper on digitized matchmaking demonstrates how online matrimonial advertisements serve as cultural performance spaces reinforcing class boundaries, while the 2019 air transport study quantifies democratization patterns in French aviation. Both projects share a focus on how institutional access transforms social hierarchies, with her India-focused work emphasizing gendered bodily experiences in public space. Awards No scientific awards were documented in the available sources. Advising and Grants Current information indicates no doctoral students under Subtil's supervision. No research grants or funding sources are specified in the provided materials, though her work appears connected to institutional frameworks like the French Institute of Pondicherry and Sciences Po's CRIS center.
