Research interests
Through the study of the transition to parenthood and the place of the child in contemporary societies, my research aims to identify the strategies by which human groups manage to ensure the continuity, renewal and reproduction of social structures, and have been able to adapt to change. My research focuses on social and family imaginaries, the temporality and modalities of entry into parenthood, motivations for renouncing or refusing a child, and naming and prenaming practices. They are based on an intersectional approach and multidisciplinary methods, notably in sociology and demography.
