Before coming to Oakland University I taught and researched American and Canadian history since the 1990s. In France, I was Professor of North American Studies at the University of Tours. After moving to the United States in 2006 I was an adjunct professor at Wayne State University and the University of Windsor.

Here are some highlights of my past experience.

Research interests

History of immigration, citizenship and multiculturalism in the United States and Canada, especially the politics of immigration and citizenship.

Selected publications

Books

L'immigration aux Etats-Unis de 1607 à nos jours. Paris: Ellipses, 1998. (with Benedicte Deschamps)
A documentary history of immigration in the United States.

L'immigration aux Etats-Unis, 1965-1995 : Le poids de la réunification familiale. Paris: L'Harmattan, 1996.
This books tells the history of the passage of the 1965 immigration reform bill that abolished national origins quotas and set up family reunification as the priority of U.S. immigration policy. It then analyzes family reunification patterns among new immigrants in 1965-1995 and discusses the resulting political challenges to this policy, culminating in the adoption of a new act in 1990. The focus is on the interaction between legislative action and social phenomena.
