Hi! Bonjour! Welcome to my website.

I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Western Michigan University (WMU), where I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in political theory. My research lies in the areas of feminist political theory, aesthetics and emotion, and democratic theory.

My first book-length manuscript, Feminist Fury: Aesthetics, Action, and Reaction, is scheduled for completion in Spring 2026. You can read more about it under the Research tab.

My research has been supported by Michigan State University (MSU) Libraries, the Women’s Caucus of the College of Arts and Sciences at WMU, the WMU Humanities Center, the University of Chicago’s Department of Political Science, Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality, and Pozen Family Center for Human Rights, as well as the France Chicago Center.

Before moving to the U.S., I earned my Bachelor's degree (Honours) in Philosophy and Political Theory at McGill University, in my hometown of Montréal, Canada.
