Isabel Côté is an associate professor at the Department of Social Work at the Université du Québec en Outaouais and a researcher at the Centre for Studies and Research on Family Intervention, the Familles en mouvance research partnership, and the Réseau québécois en études féministes. Supported by provincial and national funding, her research projects focus on the realization of a parental project with the help of a third party, a sperm donor, or a surrogate. She is particularly interested in the relationship between third parties and intended parents and the resulting children. In collaboration with Kévin Lavoie and Jérôme Courduriès, she directed Perspectives internationales sur la gestation pour autrui: Expériences des personnes concernées et contextes d’action, a collective work published by the Presses de l’Université du Québec in 2018.
