Geneviève Brisson

As a jurist and an anthropologist, her work deals with the social representations of the environment, the social impacts of environmental changes and the sociopolitical implications of anthropic and natural risk management. She runs the ATTISÉE (SSHRC) project on the role given to social dimensions in the environmental assessment of major projects. She also leads the ARICA (Ouranos) project in which, with Lily Lessard and Nathalie Lewis, she examines local and institutional learning following extreme climatic events in outlying communities.
