His research critically engages with themes of adaptation, resilience, epistemic injustice, and decolonial and gender studies, particularly in Indigenous Arctic contexts.

Tanguy’s scholarly work spans multiple formats, including academic articles, book chapters, films, exhibitions, and public presentations. His recent publications focus on local narratives of environmental change in Ittoqqortoormiit (Greenland), epistemic injustices in species management, and the ethics of representation in Arctic research. He employs transdisciplinary and participatory methodologies, often co-creating knowledge with Arctic communities.
