Eric Puisais holds a PhD in Political Philosophy from the University of Paris-Sorbonne and is currently pursuing a second PhD in Social and Economic Geography at the University of Poitier.
His central research topic is “Territories and Governmentality”. It is a question of studying the way in which a territory (in the sense of an institutionalized geographical space) constructs the modalities of its own governmentality, i.e. the way in which a power is organized, according to which ideological modalities, by implementing which types of power techniques, etc. In addition to his experience in university research, he has taught philosophy, history of philosophy and political philosophy for several years, and has worked in several local authorities in France as a political cabinet director.
