Current research projects
I am currently working on a research project exploring the uses and effects of parliamentary ethics instruments in French politics.
I also work on a project that compares how gender-based violence is dealt with within the parliamentary institutions within the EU.
My latest research project is interested in how political corruption is socially constructed by the activities of different types of media and educational actors, and how political corruption affects citizens’ understanding of the quality of democracy, its legitimacy and credibility.
