Brief Introduction
I am a French native who got a master and Ph.D. in sociology and historical studies at the New School For Social Research in New York City. I specialized in historical sociology and trained under the supervision of Charles Tilly since I was interested in long-term historical perspectives on empire and post-empire state building.
