Ariane is a PhD candidate in socio-cultural Anthropology with a doctoral certificate in Gender and Social Justice. She specializes in anthropology of secularism, feminist ethnography, and poststructuralist feminism.

Her research focuses on current debates about secularism and religiosity in feminist movements in Québec. She investigates how recent legislation prohibiting religious symbols in the name of gender equality impacts Québécois activists' practises and claims. She is especially interested in the interactions between feminist groups with differing ideological perspectives, as well as the dynamics of exclusion and inclusion within these groups along racial, religious, and gender identity lines.
