Corinne Le Gras

Corinne Le Gras is a Lecturer in the Department of Geography at the University of Rouen Normandy's UFR Letters and Human Sciences. She earned her doctoral thesis in 1992 and specializes in epistemological and pedagogical dimensions of geography. She co-directs the professional Master's program "Valorization of Natural and Cultural Heritage," coordinating 31 instructors and facilitating international student mobility projects.

Her research examines disciplinary epistemology, the construction of geographical knowledge in education, heritage as a social construct, and spatial representation through literary/cinematic works. She teaches courses on geographical thought (Bachelor’s), heritage policy (Bachelor’s), landscape studies (Master’s), and CAPES oral exam preparation.

Her publications emphasize geographical education, spatial modeling, and heritage discourse, with recurring themes of pedagogy, critical cartography, and interdisciplinary methodologies linking geography with literature and cultural studies.
