I am Associate Professor at the European School of Political and Social Sciences (ESPOL) in France, where I teach undergraduate and graduate courses on environmental politics and on food/agricultural studies (see teaching section). I am also a member of the Global Environmental Justice Group (University of East Anglia, UK), an interdisciplinary group of scholars interested in the linkages between social justice and environmental change. I have previously worked in the UK, at the University of East Anglia and at Lancaster University.
I have a PhD in Political and Social Sciences from the Centre for Philosophy of Law (UCLouvain) on environmental justice and biodiversity conservation. I obtained my Master’s degree in Environmental Studies from the Free University of Brussels (ULB).
