Denis Blot

Denis Blot serves as a Lecturer in socio-anthropology at the University of Picardie Jules Verne within the Department of Human, Social Sciences and Philosophy, and is an active researcher at the Habiter le Monde laboratory (UR4287).

His research program centers on socio-anthropological analysis of waste systems, investigating how discarded materials manifest societal relationships with proximate and distant environments. Key interests include:

• Anthropization processes in natural environments
• Material culture of waste management
• Circular economy transitions
• Urban infrastructure heritage
• Environmental consciousness studies

Current initiatives include supervising two doctoral theses on waste dynamics and coordinating the Franco-British Blueprint research consortium on circular economy frameworks. His work bridges theoretical socio-anthropology with applied environmental policy analysis through international collaborative projects.
