I presently work as a trainer for unemployed workers at CEFIG, in Brussels. Besides, I am also lecturer at the University of Lille. My current research interests include social justice theory in lifelong learning programmes and practice for social workers; collective working time reduction initiatives in a post-growth perspective.

Previously, I wrote a PhD dissertation on the politics of adult education, focusing on industrial actors in charge of collecting and distributing training taxes in France and Italy. The main research question was to understand why, how & when public policies aimed at inclusion (particularly the European Social Fund) were filtered by employers specific agendas. This phenomena appears to be much stronger in Italy, where the institutional setting provides more structural power for employers ("contributivité").
