Gabrielle Jourde
Gabrielle Jourde has been a PhD candidate in political theory at the CEVIPOF since September 2024. Her research focuses on feminist and queer theories, auto-theoretical writing strategies and the theme of freedom in contemporary democracies. She is particularly interested in the evolution of feminist subjectivities since the #MeToo movement came to be, together with the crisis in sexual democracies. She works on gender studies from a dual disciplinary perspective between political theory and comparative literature.
After a dual undergraduate degree in modern literature and political humanities from the Sorbonne Paris IV and Sciences Po, Gabrielle graduated in 2023 with a master’s degree in gender studies from the Université Paris 8 Vincennes-Saint-Denis, with a special focus on comparative literature. She then did a research master’s degree in political theory at Sciences Po.
Gabrielle has also worked on several European research projects. Between April 2023 and July 2024, she was a research assistant at the NGO European Alternatives for the action- research project FIERCE (Feminist Movement Revitalizing Democracy in Europe), a Horizon Europe project funded by the European Commission. This involved writing academic articles in political sociology on social movements, drafting policy briefs for European parliamentarians and organizing citizens’ assemblies with feminist activists across Europe.
At Sciences Po, Gabrielle teaches courses in political theory and gender studies. In the first semester of 2024/2025, she was a teaching assistant for a course delivered by Frédéric Gros entitled ‘qu’est-ce que consentir?’.
