Féminisme
A book that argues struggles and conflicts are essential to feminism, in the sense that feminism carries an ever-renewed demand to think through its contradictions, to respond to those who contest its boundaries, and to reinvent new practices of emancipation. Yet accepting the importance of these conflicts is not to give in to relativism: not all versions of feminism are equally good to adopt, or equivalent. Far from it.
Pour l'intersectionnalité
A concise, accessible defense of intersectionality against the misreadings and political instrumentalizations the concept has faced in France, retracing its history and clarifying what it does — and does not — mean for social analysis.
Feminist Trouble: Intersectional Politics in Post-Secular Times
Drawing on extended fieldwork with women's organizations in France and Québec, this book dissects hierarchies of privilege within feminist politics and examines how debates on Islamic veiling have transformed contemporary feminist movements. It argues for a feminist ethic of responsibility, centered not on a shared identity but on an ethical commitment to the feminist project.

A compact introduction to the major theoretical currents in gender studies, from the sex/gender distinction to queer theory and intersectionality, aimed at students and newcomers to the field.
L'égalité introuvable. La parité, les féministes et la République
Based on my doctoral research, this book traces the genesis, legitimation strategies, and implementation of France's gender parity laws, and their uneasy fit with French republican universalism.
Special issue: "The Politics of Intersectionality in France"
A collection of articles tracing how intersectionality travelled into French social science and politics, and what its reception reveals about the discipline's own blind spots.

An issue examining the moral and political boundary-work that divides feminist movements into legitimate and illegitimate subjects, around race, religion, imperialism and sexuality.
Genre et islamophobie. Discriminations, préjugés et représentations en Europe
Eight chapters examining the intersections of gender and Islamophobia across Belgian, French, and Swiss contexts, from discriminatory practices to public representations.
Special issue: "Feminist Emotions"
An issue exploring the affective dimensions of feminist mobilization — anger, shame, solidarity, joy — as political resources and sites of contention within movements.
Intersectionality in Feminist and Queer Movements: Confronting Privileges
A cross-national collection examining how feminist and queer movements grapple with privilege and exclusion within their own ranks, and the strategies they develop to confront them.
Transforming Gender Citizenship: The Irresistible Rise of Gender Quotas in Europe
A comparative assessment of the diffusion of gender quotas across Europe, examining their transformative potential — and limits — for gender equality and democratic citizenship.
L'Intersectionnalité: enjeux théoriques et politiques
