Lauriane Mouysset

Lauriane Mouysset (1987) is a researcher at the CNRS. After graduating from the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, she obtained a doctorate in science at the Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle, then a doctorate in philosophy at the Sorbonne. Today, she studies the biodiversity crisis and questions the links between man and nature. Her work at the interface of ecology, economics and ethics has led to over 40 academic publications and more than 50 seminars and scientific conferences. In 2024, the CNRS awarded her the Bronze Medal for her interdisciplinary work. Lauriane Mouysset is also committed to contributing to reflection on the ecological crisis beyond the academic sphere, through various scientific mediation initiatives. She has published an essay entitled Repenser le défi écologique (Presses de la Rue d’Ulm), given a TEDx conference at the Opéra de Bordeaux and led an art-science project on Amazon deforestation, which resulted in the Beau-Livre Amazonas (Presses des Ponts) and a number of photographic exhibitions.

Her RÉCIT project is a research-creation project at the intersection of her scientific research on the ecological crisis, her work in philosophy on the notion of collapse, and her explorations into the use of alternative narratives in scientific mediation. She will be working on a project positioned between literature and science, which will take shape in a book entitled Le Lynx et la Cité.
