MICHALLET Isabelle

Isabelle Michallet is a professor at the Faculty of Law and Political Science at the University of Rennes and a researcher at the IODE laboratory (CNRS – UMR 6262). She specialises in environmental law. Her research focuses on biodiversity, citizen participation, environmental governance and international rivers. She takes an interdisciplinary approach to these subjects, combining law with other environmental sciences in order to protect the environment (preservation of natural ecosystems, limitation of predatory activities, legal translation of the relationship between humans and non-humans, etc.) and develop environmental democracy (transparency of information, access to decision-making processes and the courts, development of a gender-based approach, etc.). For four years, she led a Franco-Mexican interdisciplinary research project on the Usumacinta River. Her latest books are: Bien-être et normes environnementales (Mare & Martin, 2022) and Faire face à l’Anthropocène : Les voies du droit (Éditions Deux-cent-cinq, 2023). Isabelle Michallet was a member of the Editorial Committee of the Encyclopaedia of the Environment, responsible for the SOCIETY section.
