BIO
I am Banting Postdoctoral Fellow in the History of Medicine at the Centre for History in Public Health. I am also a research associate at CERMES3 (CNRS, France) and at the Centre d'histoire des régulations sociales (Université du Québec à Montréal, Canada). I hold a PhD in History (2019) from the Université du Québec à Montréal and spent ten years as a research assistant at the university's Centre d'histoire des régulations sociales.
My research interests include the history of medical education, the nineteenth century, the British and French empires, the history of medicine, the history of Quebec/Canada, the Atlantic World, and the history of death. My book, 'Cette science nécessaire. Dissections humaines et formation médicale au Québec' was published by McGill-Queen's University Press in 2023.
My first postdoctoral fellowship, at the University of Oxford (2019-2021), focused on the history of medical schools in Canada and India in the context of the British Empire. My second postdoctoral fellowship, at the Institut francilien recherche, innovation, société (2022-2023), focused on the history of medical education in the British and French empires.
I have received several research grants, including from the École française de Rome, and was a Junior Research Fellow at Wolfson College, University of Oxford. My work has been recognized with several awards, including the thesis prize from the Société française d'histoire des sciences et des techniques and the Jean-Charles Sournia prize from the Société française d'histoire de la médecine.
