I am a doctoral researcher in the project „Infrastructures of Protection: Planning for Catastrophes to Come“ in the context of the DFG research group PROMISE.
My research focuses on the French context, examining how perceptions of catastrophes to come shape state policies and, in turn, open pathways toward alternative forms of social organization. I pay particular attention to the inclusion of marginalized communities in the context of environmental disasters. More broadly, I approach research as a way to critically examine concepts such as security, protection, and infrastructure through institutional and practice-based approaches.
I hold a Master’s degree in Social Sciences, specializing in Risk and Crisis Engineering, where my research examined how dominant political and media security-focused discourses contribute to the marginalization of positive environmental initiatives. In parallel, my professional experience within France’s civil protection institutions has given me a strong understanding of crisis organization and disaster preparedness.
