Marie Bonte serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Geography at the School of Territories, Environments and Societies, University of Paris 8. Her academic work bridges cultural geography with critical urban studies, focusing on marginalized spatial practices in post-colonial contexts.
Her research portfolio centers on:
- Post-conflict urban societies and spatial reconfiguration
- Nocturnal geographies of leisure and labor
- Cultural politics of alcohol consumption
- Power dynamics in transgressive social practices
Geographical fieldwork concentrates on Beirut, Lebanon and Rabat, Morocco, examining how communities navigate domination through everyday spatial resistance. Current projects include the EUBORDERSCAPES Program (2019) analyzing migratory night work, and the long-running "Alcohol and its enemies in the Muslim Worlds" initiative (since 2017). She actively contributes to the Scientific Interest Group "Middle East and Muslim Worlds" (since 2016) and the British Sociological Association's Alcohol Study group (since 2013).
Teaching encompasses social/cultural/political geography, Mediterranean regional studies, urban development frameworks, and research methodology. She supervises field trips and professional workshops while preparing students for national teaching competitions (CAPES, Agrégation), emphasizing practical application of geographical theory in post-conflict and urban contexts.
