Sébastien completed his BA in History and German Studies at the Université de Montréal in Canada and at the Freie Universität Berlin. He also spent a year abroad in Gießen, perfecting his languages skills and teaching French in a "Gesamtschule". After years of focus on Gender History and Queer History, he now researches the transnational links between Germany and the United States in the postwar era, with a focus on the history of masculinities, homosexualities and emotions. Parallel to his studies, Sébastien is interested in memory cultures in Germany, genocidal studies, memory of the Holocaust and European far-right movements. His Master thesis explores the convergence of militarized masculinities and homosexualities in the early German Federal Republic
