Bio
I am a human geographer. Currently, I hold the position of Postdoctoral Research Associate at The University of Arizona in the School of Landscape Architecture and Planning. I received my Ph.D. in Geography & Planning from the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon in 2020. My research broadly focuses on human-environment interactions, with an emphasis on climate change vulnerability and adaptation, environmental justice and equity. My background is in political ecology, and much of my past work has concentrated on the politics of sustainability in desert communities, especially through water resources management. My ongoing work centers on community resilience to the looming heat crises.
After numerous trips back and forth to France and long research stays in both the U.S. and Mexico, I moved to Arizona in 2021, where I have developed a regional research program. Empirically, my research focuses on the Southwestern U.S. and the U.S.–Mexico borderlands. I am an interdisciplinary researcher, integrating perspectives from environmental humanities, social sciences, and environmental geography. I have collaborated with urban planners, sociologists, anthropologists, linguists, communication studies experts, ecologists, geomorphologists, and data scientists.
I am a broadly trained methodologist and have conducted numerous semi-structured interviews and participant observation with professionals, stakeholders, community members, and environmental justice activists. My strong interest in discourse analysis has led me to employ large-scale qualitative and quantitative content analysis and historical analysis of archives. The research section below contains more details about the data collection and analysis methods I have used in each research project I have been involved with.
