She is a researcher in the Centre for Research in Education and Training relating to the Environment and Eco-citizenship (Centr’ERE) as well as an associate member of the Institute of Sciences, Technologies, and Advanced Studies in Haiti (ISTEAH). Her research fields include science education, intercultural education, environmental education, global eco-citizenship education, inclusive education, and transformative education. She is interested in the socio-educational contexts related mainly to colonization, culture, ethnicity, gender, and race. Her theoretical framework for transformative and emancipatory education is rooted in critical perspectives and borrows from diverse critical currents, such as anti-colonialism, antiracism, democracy, environmentalism, feminism, indigeneity and transculturalism. In 2006, she was a Laureate for the Montreal Black History Month, which honoured her for her work in the Black community. Professor Thésée has long been involved in community development with the Haitian community in Montréal, supporting numerous cultural projects involving dance and the arts.
