Amélie Rabine-Lemaitre

Amélie Rabine-Lemaitre defended a PhD thesis in history at Université Paris 8 – IHTP, under the supervision of Mathias Gardet (Paris 8 – IHTP) and co-supervision of Florence Descamps (EPHE). Her research, at the intersection of history and anthropology, focuses on the trajectories of young girls placed in so-called "re-education" boarding schools for girls between 1945 and 1975, through the prism of oral testimonies and autobiographical writings. From 2018 to 2021, she was a tour guide at the “Enfants en justice” exhibition center, a museum attached to the National School for Judicial Protection of Youth (ENPJJ) dedicated to the history of juvenile justice from the 19th century to the present day, as well as coordinator of the related web portal. In 2020, she also collaborated on the documentary web series Mauvaises Filles, incorrigibles et rebelles. She has taught the history of education at Université Paris 8 since 2017.
