From 1997 to 2003, she worked at the Institute of French Studies at New York University, first as Assistant Director and later as a faculty fellow. In 2003, she joined the faculty of the EHESS. Her main field of research is the historical sociology of colonization, with a specific interest in law, citizenship and families. Her dissertation examined the legal status of racially mixed children in the French Empire. It was published in 2007 by La Découverte under the title Les enfants de la colonie: les métis de l'Empire français entre sujétion et citoyenneté. She has also published numerous articles on colonial law, culture and politics as well as epistemological reflections on the French social sciences.
