Research topics

My research draws on the field of social geography from a necessarily multi-disciplinary perspective (sociology, ethnography, urban planning) and covers subjects relating to (sustainable) tourism practices, urban planning and heritage development. The first area of research, based on a doctoral thesis in the northern districts of Marseille on the heritage development carried out by a group of residents (Hôtel du Nord), is that of recreational and heritage innovations based on ethical and political horizons (ecological transition, social justice). Places, objects and memories that are minorities in the order of social representations and peripheral in the economy of tourist, heritage and residential practices are given priority as pioneering fronts for more general changes (tourist alternatives and/or alternatives to tourism, heritage-gentrification of social housing). A second area of research, recently opened up, concerns an exploration of professional tourism practices, leading me to analyse the operational chain of ecological and solidarity-based transition projects in typologically varied territories, by entering the field through the sustainable tourism consultancy professions. This work, based on interview campaigns in France, Quebec and Belgium, examines, upstream, the ways in which expertise in the ecological and socially responsible transition of tourism is built up by analysing the places and content of training for consultancy professionals. Downstream, it examines the way in which these professionals put their expertise into practice by following them ethnographically, in some cases, in the field (from the response to the call for tenders right through to the deliverables). In this way, the survey enables us to observe the making of the 'transition' of destinations at the level of the projects investigated.
