Excited to finally share my new paper (w/Raphaël Charron-Chénier) out in BJS! Staying Apart for the Kids looks at how older adults consider preserving family wealth in their new relationships. Drawing on my interviews with mid/late-life daters, we show how accumulated wealth shapes dating decisions.

My first paper of my dissertation 'Patrimonial Relations. Kinship, capital and conflict in super-rich Families' is out now on open access!

Here I discuss how super-rich families use relational work on affective family ties as an economic resource.

⚠️⬛ "Année blanche" ou annonce d'une série noire pour le service public ?

Il y aurait beaucoup à dire sur les annonces budgétaires du premier ministre ce mardi.

Mais le plus frappant, c'est peut-être combien les conséquences de ce plan sur les services publics sont invisibilisées.

Thrilled that our work with @sibylleglk.bsky.social contributes to the global sociological conversation on inequality. We indeed need more data to understand gender, class, race, generation, sexuality as relations of power. International comparisons are much needed as well.
