Wahnich is director of research at the CNRS and director of the Institut Interdisciplinaire d'Anthropologie du Contemporain (IIAC).[4] [5] Her work focuses on the relationship between the French Revolution[6] and the present time.[7] Her thesis was on the notion of the foreigner in the discourse of the French Revolution, and her Habilitation was entitled French: Histoire des émotions et présents de l'histoire, une approche politique et anthropologique du sensible en politique.

She is involved in various collectives. For example, she was a member of the board of the French: Comité de vigilance face aux usages publics de l'histoire (CVUH),[8] and in 2015, she participated in the creation of the French: Conseils d'urgence citoyenne.[9]

In 2019, Wahnich participated in the summer university of French: Révolution permanente (revolutionary communist current of the New Anticapitalist Party) where she gave a conference presentation entitled French: 1789 : Révolution bourgeoise ou révolution populaire? (1789: Bourgeois revolution or popular revolution?).[12]
