Beyond academic studies, she works on movement building, leadership training, advocacy, resource mobilization, and coordination of community projects aimed at women's rights and sexual minorities in West and Central Africa.[4]

She has a Pan-African feminist perspective and participates in campaigns for the decriminalization of same-sex conduct and broader human rights issues related to gender and sexuality.[1] She is also an associate researcher at "Fondation Paul Ango Ela de géopolitique en Afrique Centrale" (FPAE) and at Research Institute for Development (IRD - France).[5][6]

Larissa Kojoue has conducted research on global health policies, particularly HIV/AIDS, citizenship, queer mobilizations, LGBTQ rights and digital practices related to sexuality in Africa.[7] She has taught political sociology at the University of Lyon Lumiere in France and the University of Buea in Cameroon. Her scholarly work involves critical analysis of how HIV/AIDS policies intersect with citizenship rights and identity politics in African contexts.[6] Additionally she has contributed to scholarly discourse, evidenced by the publication of a dozen articles focusing on global health, citizenship, and the complexities of state-society relationships.[6]
