Laure Sizaire

Laure Sizaire is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie European Postdoctoral Fellow at the Laboratory of Anthropology of Contemporary Worlds (LAMC), Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB). Her research explores intimacy and conjugality, migration and mobility, gender and sexuality. She has conducted extensive fieldwork in post-Soviet spaces (Russia, Belarus, Ukraine) and France, examining the gendered dimensions of transnational relationships through intimate connections, marriages and international matchmaking. Currently, her work extends to West Africa (Mauritania) and Southeast Asia (Malaysia), where she focuses on North-South mobility and transnational conjugality. Using an intersectional and gendered lens, her research sheds light on global transformations in intimacy and the reconfiguration of power relations.
