Research Interests
Her work focuses on the structural barriers to social class equality in school as well as on the psychological consequences of belonging to a social class.
She is currently working on a project for which she was granted a Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) grant: “Advancing the Psychology of Social Class: large-scale replication in four countries”.
She is also part of an interdisciplinary research team working on the PROFAN project: a large-scale three-wave experimental study conducted in France to study the effects of jigsaw puzzle classrooms.
More recently, her work has delved into understanding how belonging to a social class shapes individuals' relations to their social groups.
