She is interested in analyzing the restructuring of contemporary citizenship in Europe as a specific form and structure of statehood. Within the EPRA HUB, she focuses on the nexus between citizenship and education in relation to the social and political current democratic dilemmas. Specifically, she deals with the political and legal tools through which European citizenship acts as a strategy of differential governmentality in contemporary Europe and with its capacity of structuring a form of territory at the continental level. She also investigates the European citizenship’s policies in connection to freedom of movement within the EU.

On these issues, she published the book “La citoyenneté européenne: un espace quasi-étatique” (Paris, Presses de Sciences Po, 2014). Her research on this topic was also published in Droit et Société, Politique européenne, Politica & Società and in several edited books in English and French.
