    Short Biography & Publications

    Dr. Nathalie Lugand is a Social Psychologist, Lecturer, and Researcher currently based at Université Lumière Lyon 2 (ReSHAPE Laboratory – INSERM U1290). Her research explores the complex intersections of sexuality, gender, consent, and social inequalities, with a particular focus on women's experiences of labor and domination. Mobilizing psychodynamics of work (psychodynamique du travail), care theory, and gender studies frameworks, she examines how power dynamics, invisible labor, psychic suffering, and desire operate within both intimate and professional contexts.
