About Isabelle
Creative practices are effective research tools for interdisciplinary collaborations. Both my academic and creative works have consistently examined human affective relationships with the self, media and environments. The concerns of my various research practices are philosophical, ethnographic, educational and cultural.
At present I am Professeure Invitée (Invited Professor) in the Faculty of Medecine, Team “Synchronization and Modulation of Neural Networks in Epilepsy”, Université de Grenoble-Alpes (France).
I am leading two active research projects.
“Falling on and off the screen: The electrical body in film productions“ aims to further knowledge on the cinematographic representations of neurological disorders, specifically epilepsies.
“Locating nature in the soundscapes of popular wildlife and natural history documentaries” develops a phenomenological approach of making soundtracks of nature.
