Geographer, I am working in the fields of urban studies, social and political geography, especially in South Asia (India) and Latin America (Brazil). My research mainly involves reflection on the social embeddedness of small-scale initiatives, their relation with space and their political configuration. 

After a few years on deputation as a Research Fellow at the Department of Social Sciences of the French Institute of Pondicherry (UMIFRE 021 CNRS), India, where I worked on the city-makers and the social memories of artisans, among them potters and fishers, I am back to the University of Caen, and involve in several research projects, the last being Subaltern Urbanization in the tourist mountains of South and South Asia (URBALTOUR, https://urbaltour.hypotheses.org). From 2019 to 2023, I coordinated an interdisciplinary team of researchers from the French Institute of Pondicherry on the research project "Coastal Transformation and Fisher's well-being: comparative perspectives India-Europe".
