Dr. Sépulchre started her work in Disability Studies by analysing the citizenship claims of disability activists in Sweden. She then examined, from an intersectional perspective, how the right to non-discrimination based on disability is understood and implemented in Sweden and the United States. Dr. Sépulchre’s current projects focus on communities of care, disability rights and justice, and freedom as non-domination.

Marie Sépulchre holds a PhD in Sociology from Uppsala University (Sweden). She is an assistant professor at the School of Social Work at Lund University (Sweden) and a visiting scholar in the Center for Disability Studies at the University at Buffalo, on the Communities of Care project. Sépulchre is a member of the board of the Nordic Network on Disability Research. Her research has been published in the International Journal of Disability and Social Justice, the Scandinavian Journal of Disability Research, Disability & Society, Disability & Rehabilitation, Critical Social Policy, Social Inclusion, and Alter – the European Journal of Disability Research. Sépulchre was awarded the Alter Young Author Prize in 2019. Her book Disability and Citizenship Studies (Routledge 2021) unpacks the struggle for citizenship of Swedish disability activists.
