Candidat PHD

NationalitéFrance

Educated in both the Humanities (Preparatory Classes, Bachelor in Humanities with a major in Literature, 2019) and in commerce (ESSEC Higher School, 2019), I have served as a research & teaching assistant at GEM (Higher School of Grenoble Chamber of Commerce) from 2019 to 2025, whilst pursuing a PhD in organisation and management studies under the supervision of Prof Ismael Al-Amoudi.

I have delivered courses and supervised essays about personal and ethical dimensions of work within contemporary organisations. In parallel, I have been writing a PhD dissertation entitled “Reconstructing literary and rhetorical analyses to reconstrue (in)authenticity in organisation and management studies: Critical Realist conceptions of identities”. My approach strives to be humanistic and interdisciplinarian, drawing upon literary forms—particularly novelistic materials and rhetorical analyses—as well as upon some philosophical and sociological traditions (virtue ethics , Archerian realism).

During my years as research & teaching assistant, I have contributed to the CSO (Centre for Social Ontology) as its secretary, as well as to a range of academic conferences and journals as a reviewer for Organization, the Journal of Business Ethics and the Journal of Organizational Ethnography, as much as I engaged with civic and union organisations alike.
