Elise is an Assistant professor at NEOMA Business School. Her research revolves around the power dynamics in social and ecological crises, with a critical view of how corporate actions can harm people and the Earth ecosystem. She investigates how violence is perpetuated and explores how people collectively mobilize and organize in the context of systemic issues, in resistance or advocacy for change.

Trained as an ethnographer, Elise approaches these questions through qualitative methods. She explores diverse settings, including the French gilets jaunes movement, the LGBT movement to address workplace discrimination, the waste economy crisis in Italy and more recently, the mobilization against mega-basins.

Her research appears in journals such as Organization Studies, Journal of Management Studies, Mobilization: An International Quarterly, or ephemera: theory & politics in organization, as well as in the press. Elise is also a member of the editorial collective of ephemera, where she serves as an editor for the open section. Prior joining NEOMA, she completed her PhD degree at emlyon business school and was an assistant professor at the University of Essex (UK).
