Trained in ecology and evolution, I worked in plant comparative ecology during my Ph.D. More recently, I have been trying to apply comparative approaches to long-term trends in human social organization, within the cultural evolution framework. Currently at the Complexity Science Hub in Vienna, Austria, I study how gender inequalities have changed during the Holocene, i.e., since the advent of agriculture and the dramatic increase in the size and hierarchy of societies. I use a mix of modelling and data analyses, relying on archaeological and historical data – and most of all on the collaboration with specialists of these disciplines.
