Associate professor at Université Lille 2, co-head of MERCUR Blanchemaille, laboratoire de marketing sociétal et comportemental

 

My research deals with the enactment, development and transformations of individual and collective identity projects in several contexts. Specifically, I study phenomenon where consumers are either marginalised by the mainstream market (vulnerable consumers) or challenging it (sufficiency and dispossession, CSA, Prosumerism). I also do explore how some cultural production systems may predispose or constrain consumers and groups toward specific identity projects and how collective projects dynamics can create new markets.

I can be labelled as a Consumer Culture Theory researcher but I also feel close to Transformative Consumer Research, especially because I value methodological pluralism.
