About

Biography

I am a PhD candidate in political science at the Université de Montréal and Sciences Po. As part of my research activities, I am affiliated with the Center for the Study of Democratic Citizenship (CSCD) and the Centre de recherches de Sciences Po (CEVIPOF). My work is supervised by Professors Richard Nadeau and Martial Foucault.

 

My research focuses on the relationship between linguistic practices and political attitudes, the role of language in shaping the image of political figures, and, more generally, political behaviour. I am also interested in issues related to political representation.

 

My dissertation aims to determine how the way political candidates speak influences citizens' evaluations of their ability to represent them, to examine the extent to which reactions to different linguistic varieties vary across groups of citizens, and to analyze media coverage of political actors whose accent deviates from the so-called “standard” norm.
