Audrey Sérandour is a Junior Professor of Geography at the Université de Haute-Alsace, affiliated with the Research Center on Economies, Societies, Arts, and Techniques (CRESAT-UR 3436). She earned her PhD from the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne in 2020 and subsequently joined the Université de Haute-Alsace as a postdoctoral researcher on the ANR NucTerritory project. She then worked as a researcher at the French geological survey, BRGM, before being appointed at the Université de Haute-Alsace in 2024.
Her research focuses on the political geography of resources and energy within the context of the transition. After investigating the territorial implications of lithium extraction in the Andes (Argentina, Bolivia, Chile) and the relationships between nuclear power plants and their host territories in the United States and the United Kingdom, she now focuses on the mining revival in Europe. Drawing on both constructivist and materialist approaches to resources, her research examines how societies adapt their production systems to global changes by analyzing the connections between resource-making processes and the development of territorial projects.
