Isabelle Henrion-Dourcy

Dr. Isabelle Henrion-Dourcy serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology at Université Laval in Quebec, Canada. With 15 years of research expertise, she focuses on Tibetan cultural expressions including performing arts, traditional/popular music, and media practices.

Her research examines:

• Tibetan opera (ache lhamo) as cultural heritage
• Traditional and contemporary music evolution
• Media consumption patterns in Tibetan communities
• Diaspora identity formation through cultural practices
• Cross-cultural influences in performance traditions

Her publications demonstrate sustained focus on cultural preservation, media impact on diaspora communities, and hybridity in Tibetan performance arts. Works frequently intersect anthropology, media studies, and heritage discourse.

She contributes to academic discourse through conferences like ACHS 2016, where she presented on intangible cultural heritage frameworks in Tibetan contexts.
