I'm a geographer specializing in the geography of heritage and tourism. Using protected areas and cultural sites as a starting point, I analyze the interplay of players in the construction of what constitutes "heritage", as well as management and tourism methods in different mountain areas.

As a geographer, I start from what I observe in space to analyze the way in which territorial players operate at different scales. At the same time, I analyze the values attributed to places that in this way become "heritage", the associated management methods and their effects on the construction of territories.
