Her thesis was entitled La Double illusion. "La Nouvelle Critique", une revue du pcf (1967-1980), and was conducted under the supervision of Évelyne Pisier.[3] In 1999, she earned an Agrégée in political science (fr).[2]

After completing her doctoral degree, Matonti taught at the École Normale Supérieure, the Université Sorbonne Paris Nord, The University of Nantes, and The University of Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne.[2]

Matonti studies the formation and sociology of political parties, gender studies, and the history of ideas in political philosophy. She devoted her doctoral research to the Nouvelle Critique (fr), which was the intellectual journal of the French Communist Party from 1948 until 1980.[2] Specifically, she studied the way that the intellectuals' obedience to the party manifested in and was encouraged by the journal. She participated in the collective enterprise of "La Misère du monde" as part of her research on the National Rally, wrote a biography of the revolutionary Marie-Jean Hérault de Séchelles, and worked on the political professionalization of women.[2]
