I am a postdoctoral researcher currently based at the University of Oxford. My academic journey so far has taken me between France, Switzerland and the UK, combining teaching, research, and international fellowships. After several years as a PhD candidate and teaching assistant at the University of Lausanne, I defended my PhD thesis in November 2024 on the criminalisation of street harassment in France and Britain. As part of this doctoral research, I also spent one year as a visiting PhD student at Goldsmiths, University of London. Since then, I have been pursuing postdoctoral research, teaching in Lausanne while launching a new research project at the University of Oxford, funded by the Swiss National Science Fundation (SNSF).
