Dr. Maud Borie

Biography

Maud Borie’s work sits at the intersection of Human Geography and Science and Technology Studies (STS). Her primary research area revolves around biodiversity governance, fueled by an early interest in ecology and relational thinking. Her investigations focus on how knowledge is mobilized and its socio-political implications. After completing her PhD, which analyzed the creation of global biodiversity expertise, Maud applied similar conceptual approaches to study disaster risk reduction strategies in urban areas, highlighting the mapping practices involved. Currently, she explores the politics of nature-based solutions and green finance. With a doctorate from the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia, Maud has also served as a visiting fellow at the Program on Science, Technology, and Society at Harvard Kennedy School of Government. Her interdisciplinary master's in Environmental Science and Politics was from Sciences Po (the French Institute of Political Sciences) and the University Pierre and Marie Curie in Paris. Maud collaborates with public organizations like UNESCO and private entities, contributing to significant projects such as the Mediterranean Wetlands Observatory and the Mediterranean Alliance of Wetlands, a network comprising over 20 NGOs in the Mediterranean region.
