Presentation

As a researcher in contemporary history at the Rhône-Alpes historical research laboratory, my work has led me to engage in close dialogue with the disciplines of space and territories. I teach as a lecturer at the Institut d'urbanisme et de géographie alpine in Grenoble.

Research domain

I'm interested in the process of inventing territories that combine the desire for conservation with utopian projections, particularly in protected areas in mid-mountain regions. I'm particularly interested in changes in the concept of heritage and the relationship between research and action. In addition to the "Singularizing mountain territories" project, for which I was co-director, I am a member of the Transformont project team.
