Research Interests
Isabelle's main research interests relate to Law and/for the Anthropocene. Her most recent project explores how the converging fields of climate change law and disaster law engage with the ‘Anthropocene’ thought experiment. With a view to enriching contemporary approaches to legal education and practice, this proposal focuses on how legal reasoning progressively opens up to new narratives, understandings and modes of thinking, at the interface of Earth system science and planetary social thought.
