I am currently a Max Weber fellow at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy. I trained in political science at the University of Geneva and at the Institut d’Etudes Politiques, Grenoble, where I defended my PhD in 2007. Since 2007, I have been a lecturer at the Department of Political Science of the University of Geneva where I teach undergraduate advanced research seminars in political behaviour. Previously, I tought in comparative politics and social movements and research design at the University of Geneva and at the University of Lausanne.
My dissertation, entitled “Controversy, Decision and Reproductive Policies”, examines the extent to which public controversy on value-driven issues such as abortion and assisted reproductive technology leads to significantly different public policy making  processes and outcomes.
My research interests include comparative policy agendas, comparative public policies on morality issues such as euthanasia, stem cells research and same-sex marriage, gender dynamics in comparative electoral behavior as well as comparative methodology.
I am currently involved in an international project on morality politics in a comparative perspective. This project constitutes the first systematic comparative study in politicization and policy-making on morality issues such as euthanasia, embryo and stem cells research, same-sex marriage, abortion and reproductive technologies across West European countries.
Besides my Ph.D. dissertation, my work appears in Comparative European Politics, French Political Science Review, Swiss Political Science Review and in various books. I have has recently co-edited a book on Gender and Public policy.
