Pacte (UGA)
Presentation
Scientific coordinator of Labex ITTEM since 2022, I am a teacher-researcher at the Institut d'urbanisme et de géographie alpine of Grenoble Alpes University, and was director of the "Cities and Territories" team of the Pacte laboratory from 2020 to 2022. I am president of the Modus Operandi Association, which promotes a constructive approach to social conflict.
Research domain
I conduct research in social geography and study citizen initiatives as part of the socio-ecological transition in mountain areas. In particular, I'm interested in the potential of alternative imaginaries and practices, and the conflicts that their deployment generates within territories.
