Biography
Emilie studied History, Cultural Anthropology and Archaeology at the Universities of Montpellier (Paul Valery), of Minnesota and of the Sorbonne (Paris I), before completing a double cotutelle PhD in Prehistory from the Sorbonne and the ANU. Her PhD thesis focused on New Caledonia precolonial archaeology and the application of archaeobotany in the region.
After completing her PhD, Emilie worked at the University of Western Australia in Archaeology as a research associate, building on her research interest about the relationships between people and forests in Australia and the Pacific. This has led to a number of archaeobotany projects in the region, including through international collaborations and students supervision. Most of this projects are continuing, with Emilie being a Honorary Fellow at UWA.
Indeed, she joined the ANU in 2015 as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow within Prof. Matthew Spriggs's ARC Laureate Project "The Collective Biography of Archaeology in the Pacific - a Hidden History", where she is part of team developping a new field of studies investigating the Historiography of Archaeology in the region.
