Biography

Camille is a Research Fellow at the Department of Political and Social Sciences of the European University Institute (Sept 2025–August 2027).
She is a sociologist of gender, work, and stratification, using sociological and demographic perspectives to investigate how gendered norms and institutional contexts shape inequalities in labour market outcomes, work-family arrangements, and health across social contexts, time, and cohorts. More specifically, she explores occupational characteristics as an aspect of how work produces inequality. She uses quantitative methods to investigate how the content and context of work interact with individual characteristics—i.e. gender and motherhood status—to create heterogeneity in work-related outcomes and health.

Her research has been published in leading journals including the American Sociological Review, the Journal of Marriage and Family, Social Science and Medicine, Sociological Science, and Health and Justice.

Previously, she was a fellow of the Kohli Foundation for Sociology in the Max Weber Programme for Postdoctoral Studies at the Department of Political and Social Sciences of the European University Institute (Sept 2023 to August 2025).

She holds a PhD in Sociology from Cornell University (2017–2023), an MSc in Sociology from Oxford University (2016–2017), and a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences from University College London (Major in Social Sciences; Minor in Sciences and Engineering) (2012–2015).
