Sabine Lamour is a sociologist specializing in feminist and gender studies within the Haitian and Caribbean contexts. She holds a Ph.D. in sociology from Paris 8 University and has been a professor at the State University of Haiti since 2017. She is currently hosted by the Institute of Feminist and Gender Studies in the Faculty of Social Sciences.
Her work lies at the intersection of gender sociology, social history, and Afro-diasporic studies. For more than a decade, her research has examined the dynamics of gender inequality, the social and political trajectories of Haitian women, forms of collective memory, and the legacies of coloniality. Her approach embraces a subaltern and transnational perspective, attentive to the production of knowledge in Black and Caribbean worlds. She publishes in Haitian Creole, French, English, Spanish, and German, reaffirming the importance of multilingualism as a principle for the production and circulation of knowledge.
Please join us in welcoming her to the University of Ottawa!
