Bio
Florian Bonnefoi is a geographer and postdoctoral researcher at CEDEJ Khartoum, now relocated to Cairo, affiliated with the Institut Convergences Migrations. His thesis work (2020-2024) conducted at the University of Poitiers (Migrinter), Paris 8 (LAVUE), and CEDEJ focused on the links between environmental and climate degradation and migration in Egypt’s Nile Delta region. Based on 2.5 years of fieldwork, he has worked with communities of fishermen, small farmers, and street vendors in the Nile Delta countryside. He has particularly focused on the concepts of multivulnerability and adaptation, paying special attention to perceptions of the environment and interactions between humans and non-humans. More generally, he is interested in Egyptian migration, particularly labor migration and masculinities. The trajectories of his research interlocutors led him to conduct a short fieldwork in Kuwait in 2024.
