Christine Louis-Dit-Sully grew up in the infamous 'banlieue' 93 in France but she has since lived also in the UK, USA and Germany. She worked for nearly 20 years in academic biological research. Since leaving her laboratory bench career, she has widened her field of research to politics and humanities, specifically on issues of race, identity, social justice and the demand for 'safe space' in US and UK universities. She lives in the Black Forest, Germany.
