Experience
Anthropologist, researcher at the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (UMR PALOC - IRD/MNHN). My work focuses on human-animal relations, health (One Health), and local knowledge (ethno-veterinary) in Southeast Asia. They question the complex links between biodiversity-society-health and open reflections on the co-production of knowledge (expert/profane, human/non-human). By studying what circulates between species and the perceptions and treatments of animal diseases, I am interested in the knowledge systems mobilized locally to prevent associated risks. In doing so, I am interested in the way in which human-animal relationships condition socio-environmental balances and impact the health of humans, animals and the environment.
