Priscyll Anctil Avoine is a researcher in the field of feminist security studies. Her work focuses on corporality and emotions in contemporary wars as well as the reintegration processes of women ex-combatants.

She is currently a doctoral candidate in Political Science and Women's Studies at the Université du Québec à Montréal, a program for which she received the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship. Her doctoral thesis, The body as a place of political resistance: The "re-in-corporation" of the farianas in northeastern Colombia, takes a critical look at the body, affects and emotions in the context of the post-peace agreement with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc-ep).
