Stefanie Boulila, trained in sociology and gender studies, covered a lot of ground in her research, teaching and organizing work so far, moving across Europe too, from Switzerland to the UK, to Germany and back to Switzerland.

Her publications show the wide scope of her engagement. While her PhD thesis was on “Dancing Salsa in Post-Thinking Europe: Gender and Sexuality Discourses among Salsa Dancers in Switzerland and England”, her impressive recent book is called ‘Race in Post-racial Europe: an intersectional analysis’.

Since 2019, she teaches Critical Social Work at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. She has a vast teaching record, on gender, sociology, international development, anti-racism, cultural studies, critical diversity studies, queer studies and feminist theory.

She is a member of the Swiss Young Academy and was a very active board member of ATGENDER in the recent past.

She is currently working on a participative research project about the lived experiences of LGBTIQ parents in rural alpine Switzerland.
