Marie-Claire Andraos holds a PhD in Geography, specializing in environmental, cultural heritage, and territorial studies. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher at Université Grenoble Alpes, affiliated with the Pacte research laboratory, as part of the French national research program PEPR Risques (IRiMa). She obtained her PhD in Geography from Saint Joseph University of Beirut, in collaboration with the French Institute of the Near East (Ifpo). Her doctoral research explored participatory heritage-making processes and territorial dynamics in the Jezzine region of Lebanon. With an interdisciplinary background rooted in environmental sciences and biodiversity conservation, her academic trajectory has progressively expanded toward the social sciences. Her current research focuses on natural and human-induced risk perception, territorial vulnerabilities, community resilience, and participatory approaches to scientific knowledge production. Through comparative research conducted in Lebanon, Turkey, and France, she investigates citizen engagement in risk observation and management, with particular attention to the relationship between institutional and individual resilience. She has authored several scientific publications, presented her research at international conferences, and contributes to university teaching, particularly in ecological transitions and sustainable development. Her work adopts an action-research perspective, seeking to strengthen connections between scientific knowledge, citizen participation, and territorial adaptation to crises.
