Please tell us about your research project.
Normalien - agrégé - PhD Candidate in Political science and International Relations from SciencesPo Paris, I am specializing in cultural diplomacy. I am also the proud President of the Club Belle France which aims at promoting French culture in France and abroad in partnership with La Maison des Arts et de la Création of SciencesPo Paris. I am very interested in the mechanisms of soft power and how culture and arts delineate national identities.
Could you please tell us a bit more about your scholarship/exchange programme?
I am part of the OxPo Programme and was admitted to the Department of Politics and International Relations at Oxford University, with associated membership to ChristChurch college. My funding comes from my normalien doctoral funding. I am grateful for the Oxford professors who take time to help me progress in my dissertation project.
First impressions of Oxford/the University?
Delighted to enjoy such beautiful natural surroundings in a setting so propitious to hard work. I also take part in the university students' life as much as I can by participating in musicals, opera and film productions of the University.
