I am a senior lecturer in Education at the Superior School for Professorship and Education at the University of Nantes. My research focuses on the construction of meaning and culture in sports and physical education. During my master, I researched on the wrestling culture in Brittany and Ireland, in relation with the Celtic revival periods. In my PhD dissertation, I have raised the issue of the acculturation of sport by exploring the cultural history of the wrestling styles along the Silk Roads (researches in Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Armenia) and in the context of migration between the Northwest Europe and North America (researches in Brittany, Scotland, Ireland, England, Canada and the USA). I aim to develop an interdisciplinary and comparative/cross-cultural approach on the construction of body and sporting cultures.
