Research work
After working on the electoral geography of the EELV vote and, in particular, the ecologist vote in rural areas, Simon Audebert moved his focus to ecologist political behaviour and the vision of ecology in rural areas in France for his PhD thesis. His aim is to analyse the diversity of situations existing in rural areas by studying the mechanisms explaining the place of political ecology in these areas.
