Biography

A former research fellow of the Belgian Fund for Scientific Research (F.R.S.-FNRS), I am now a Postdoctoral Researcher in Languages, Literatures and Translation Studies (specialised in French Literature and Romance Languages) at the Université libre de Bruxelles/University of Oxford. Following on from my PhD thesis (which focused on literary representations of male prostitutions from 1783 to 1922), I am particularly interested in long-19th-century literatures of French expression, studied in light of Gender, Queer and Sex Work History.
