I am a French Researcher (1995-) in social & transdisciplinary sciences. I am currently affiliated to the CEARC Research Center, at the UVSQ-University Paris-Saclay (France).
I hold a European Doctorate in Social Sciences from the University Paris-Saclay, co-hosted by the SVT, University of Bergen (Norway). I am currently involved in the ERC Advanced Grant 2021: Deciphering the lay ethics of terminal risks: local terminal risks as PRoxiEs For Existential Risks (PREFER) [2022-2027]. Within the framework of the SeMPER-Arctic and then PREFER projects, my research addresses the local manifestations and lived experiences of environmental, climatic and sociopolitical upheavals.
I have a degree in sociology and heterodox economics, and a double master’s degree in climate change adaptation and Arctic studies. My past experiences have led me to work on indigenous knowledge issues – notably at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Center for Indigenous Knowledge Systems (South Africa), then through the organization of two international conferences (Arctic Week 2018 and 2019) – but also on Arctic diplomacy during a mission of nearly a year at the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs.
My research interests notably include: a critical approach to adaptation and resilience, critical ethnography, epistemologies and plurality of knowledge, ethics and decolonial and gender studies.
