Curriculum Vitae
Ndèye Sokhna Dieng is currently a postdoctoral researcher in political science and political ecology. As part of her research, she is conducting a critical review of scientific research in political ecology and environmental politics in African contexts with the objective of rethinking ecology using decolonial approaches.
She obtained her Master's degree at Sciences Po Lille (France). Her PhD in political science, which she completed in 2024, was co-supervised by two universities: Alassane Ouattara University (Côte d’Ivoire) and AgroParisTech (France). During this period, she spent nine months (2022-2023) at the University of Victoria (UVIC) (Canada) in the Department of Geography and as a fellow in the Centre for Global Studies (CFGS). Her PhD focused on state-building processes through transnational forest governance in Côte d’Ivoire and the repoliticization of deforestation at multiple scales, through identity-based social categories ('autochthone' vs. foreigner).
