I am a PhD candidate in sociology at the Université du Québec à Montréal. My thesis focuses on the roles and impacts of Quebec grantmaking foundations in the social and ecological transition. I have been working for several years as a research agent at PhiLab. There, I conduct various research activities focusing on the initiatives and innovations deployed by philanthropic players to reduce social inequalities and combat climate change.
