He is working in a twofold direction since 2009. First, relationships between evangelicalism, immigration, interculturality and urban space. This includes studying the cultural reshaping of congregations in Paris through the impact of immigration, the new types of Gospel music produced between Africa and Europe, and the new Protestant landscape as it is impacted by demographic changes. The second direction is Geopolitics and Evangelicalism. Three topics in particular are studied:

-Sub-saharian Africa as a contact-zone between Evangelicalism and Islam,

-Protestant Francophony (French speaking Protestant networks)

-Religion & society in South Sudan.
