Sarah Mazouz defended her PhD dissertation, surpivised by Didier Fassin and entitled "The French Republic and Her Others. Anti-discrimination Policies and Practices of Naturalization in France in the Years 2000", in 2010 at the EHESS (Paris).
From November 2010 to June 2013, she conducted a post-doctoral research in the multidisciplinary research programme MORALS – Towards a Critical Moral Anthropolgy for which Didier Fassin was awarded an Advanced Grant of the European Research Council. Through an ethnography of a youth employment centre in the suburb of Paris, my work tried to explore the moral and emotional issues involved in the relationship between young people, mostly from working-class and immigrant origins, and their advisors.
Since October 2013, she is post-doctoral fellow at the Centre Marc Bloch. She leads a new research project on dual citizenship issues in Germany. Through an ethnographic approach, she studies both dual citizenship politics and experiences. During this first year, her project focuses on German -Tunsian.
