Martineau /research/tubman/profile/michelle-j-martineau/ Thu, 21 Nov 2024 18:55:24 +0000 /research/tubman/?post_type=profile&p=8223 Michelle is a PhD candidate in Political Science at the UniversitĂ© de MontrĂ©al. She holds a Master’s degree in Public Law (UniversitĂ© des Antilles – Guadeloupe) and a Master’s in Political Science with a concentration in International Relations, Cooperation, and Development (UniversitĂ© du QuĂ©bec Ă  MontrĂ©al). Her Master’s research focused on departmentalization and independence in the Guadeloupean context, spanning from 1950 to 1990. Her doctoral project examines identity (both political and cultural) and its impact on Guadeloupe’s political future in a post-colonial setting. Specifically, she aims to deconstruct the notion of departmentalization, illustrating how epistemic violence has influenced the construction of political and cultural identity in the archipelago. She was the student representative for CRIDAQ (2021-2023) and received scholarships from CRIDAQ as well as the CÉRIUM writing grant (winter 2023). She is the founder of the blog identitescaraibes.org and a columnist for NĂ©oQuĂ©bec.

She completed her PhD in the Department of Political Studies at Queen’s University, where her research focused on: the normalization of gendered state repression under the Duvalier dictatorship; how these systematized forms of violence shaped movements of population out of Haiti; and the notion of citizenship as experienced by multiple generations of migrants. Her research and teaching draws from anti-oppression and anti-racist education, Afro and decolonial feminisms, and explores questions related to the gender and the politics of memory, migrations, citizenship, political violence and interdisciplinary methods. Prior to completing her PhD, Romulus worked as a program director in the areas of gender-based violence in public spaces and in security sector reform for UN Women, the United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women. She continues to work as a consultant and trainer on questions related to anti-oppression, anti-racism, Black femininities/masculinities, gender mainstreaming in public policies and in development.
