Postdoctoral fellow

Suzy Blondin has a PhD in geography (UNINE, 2021). She also holds a Master's degree in Geography from the Université Paris 7 Diderot. Her doctoral thesis was supervised by Prof. Etienne Piguet and focused on the links between climate change and (im)mobilities in the Pamir Mountains of Tajikistan. Her work focused in particular on mobility disruptions and their social consequences, residents' motilities, subjective perceptions of remoteness and place attachment in the face of climate change.

She has joined the IGD and OUVEMA teams in October 2024 with an Equality Grant for a 3-year post-doctoral project revolving around the concept of motonormativity, and focusing in particular on the forthcoming referendum on motorway extensions, anti-car militancy and car cultures in Switzerland.

Alongside her research work at UNIL, she teaches the didactics of geography and sustainability at the Haute Ecole Pédagogique Vaud.
