Anaïs Bourgeat is a doctoral student at the University of Geneva, specifically at the Institute of Ethics, History, and Humanities. Her research focuses on modern history, investigating the concept of demonic possession in 17th century France, particularly its intersections with medicine and religion. Her thesis, entitled 'Observing Disorders of the Mind: Demonic Possessions in 17th Century France, Medicine and Religion', began in December 2021 and is part of a Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) project running from 2021 to 2025. Under the direction of Andrea Carlino and co-supervision from Monica Martinat and Elisa Andretta, Anaïs aims to explore the medical and religious understandings of possession, contributing new perspectives to the historical discourse surrounding the phenomenon. She holds a Master's degree in Modern History from the University of Lyon 2, where she completed her thesis on the life of a female worker-healer, Mademoiselle Grand, who faced prosecution from the medical authorities for her practices. Through her academic journey, Anaïs combines thorough historical research with a keen interest in the narratives of marginalized figures in the medical history of France.
