I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at Université Laval, Québec City. I hold a Ph.D. in Political Theory (University of Ottawa) and the Chaire de leadership en enseignement Alban D’Amours en sociologie de la coopération (CLEASC). I am also an associate researcher at the Centre d’études des mouvements sociaux (CEMS), at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS) in Paris, and regular researcher at the Centre de recherche sur les innovations sociales (CRISES), as well as at the Research Team on Governance and Inclusion in Latin America (ÉRIGAL).
Drawing on political phenomenology my recent work analyzed the conflictual construction of cooperative communities and political subjectivities, based on collective work, participatory democracy and solidarity economy. This analysis was built through ethnographic research conducted in an agricultural production cooperative of the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST), in the south of Brazil.
My work appeared in French, English and Portuguese, in Latin American Perspectives, Swiss Journal of Sociology, Journal des anthropologues, Anthropologie et Sociétés, Politique et Sociétés, Lien Social et Politique, Revista Insurgência, Revue Tumultes and Recherches sociographiques.

Before arriving at Université Laval, I taught at Bishop’s University and the University of Ottawa on topics such as cooperation and social justice, social and solidarity economy, social movements, politics of Latin America and the Caribbean, social and political philosophy, globalization and development, and capitalist society.
My current research projects analyze the relationship between the commons and social and solidarity economy in Québec and Spain.
