Her dissertation is titled Les pratiques du dialogue philosophique et la formation du jugement écologique : entre vertus épistémiques et transformation du sujet. Her research analyzes the contemporary socio-ecological crisis as a crisis of the conditions of judgment and examines the contribution of philosophical dialogue practices and epistemic virtues to the development of ecological judgment.
