Michelle is a PhD candidate in Political Science at the Université de Montréal. She holds a Master’s degree in Public Law (Université des Antilles – Guadeloupe) and a Master’s in Political Science with a concentration in International Relations, Cooperation, and Development (Université du Québec à Montréal). 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 NéoQuébec.
