I am an anthropologist, adjunct professor in the Département d’anthropologie at the Université de Montréal and an investigator in the health and social services system for nearly 20 years. I am currently employed by the Centre de recherche SHERPA, Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de services sociaux West-Central Montreal (CIUSSS-CO). My research projects focus on the transformation of family relationships in a context of geographical distance, an issue that I have been studying for many years through the prism of transnational and mixed families. I am the author with Deirdre Meintel of ‘Quand la famille vient d’ici et d’ailleurs. Transmission identitaire et culturelle’ published at PUL. This book is the result of several years of research on identity transmission in mixed couples in Quebec. In total, we interviewed 120 mixed couples aged 25 to 40 and parents of at least one child about their cultural, linguistic and religious transmission projects. Recent funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) will document this time the main choices of children of mixed couples in Quebec in relation to the identity markers transmitted or not by their parents. This comparative research project (Québec-Morocco) on the identity of children of mixed couples is the result of a long and fruitful transnational collaboration with my colleague Catherine Therrien Professor (adjunct professor) at Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane (AUI). As the principal investigator of this research project, I surrounded myself with a beautiful and dynamic multidisciplinary research team (anthropology, social work, psychology). I am also conducting several other ethnographic projects, notably on the issue of religious pluralism in health institutions,  decision-making, end-of-life support,   death and  bereavement in the context of migration, Muslim populations and immigrant men in Quebec.
