Franck Miroux is a Senior Lecturer (Maître de conférences) in English studies at the University of Pau and the Adour Region (UPPA), holding leadership roles as Head of the Master's program in Applied Foreign Languages (LEA) and Co-responsible for the dual-degree LEA/Economics-Management program. His affiliations include visiting professorships at the University of Passau (Germany), University of Leicester, and University of Ulster, alongside coordinating international academic partnerships.

His research explores:

• Indigenous epistemologies in North American literatures, focusing on cultural survivance and decolonization
• Ecopoetics through Indigenous land-language relationships
• Narrative resistance in residential school testimonies
• Translation studies examining hybridity and decolonial practices

Publications since 2019 predominantly analyze Indigenous Canadian fiction (Highway, Wagamese, Bacon) through lenses of trauma, memory, and cultural reclamation. Earlier work (2010-2014) centered on Seamus Heaney's poetry and translation theory.

He leads the ALTER research team and mentors graduate students in Indigenous studies and translation. Current projects include an ANR grant application on Indigenous self-determination and co-organization of international conferences on decolonial ecologies.
