I am a historian, specialized in Education, Cultural Transfer Studies and Transnational History. After teaching and researching at the universities of Geneva, Tunis (IRMC), Lausanne, Fribourg, Paris 8 and Vienna, I am currently Associate Researcher of the UMR 8547 « Cultural Transfer » at the École normale supérieure-Ulm Paris.
After a period of three years as a school teacher, I studied contemporary history and philosophy at the universities of Fribourg (Switzerland) and Bamberg. I gained then a PhD in German Studies at the École Normale Supérieure de la rue d’Ulm in Paris and a PhD in History at the University of Fribourg. Among many publications, my book Aux heures suisses de l’école républicaine won the Louis Cros Prize 2015, awarded by the Académie des sciences morales et politiques (Institut de France-Académie française).
