Anne-Marie D'Aoust

Anne-Marie D'Aoust is a full professor of political science at the Université du Québec à Montréal, and she holds the Canada Research Chair on the Security Governance of Bodies,Mobility and Borders. Resolutely interdisciplinary, her research interests lie at the crossroads of critical security studies, migration studies, international political sociology, sociology of law and feminist and gender studies. Her research and work focus on the links between love, the state, governmentality and security, more specifically on the links between these and corporeality in the governance of transnational mobility. Her empirical case studies have focused on the politicization and securitization of transnational family reunification policies involving couples, notably in Canada and the UK. Her work was notably featured in Champ pénal/Penal field and International Political Sociology. She also edited the collective work Transnational Marriage and Partner Migration: Constellations of Security, Citizenship, and Rights, published in 2022 by Rutgers University Press.
