Prof. Sacha Bourgeois-Gironde

Prof. Sacha Bourgeois-Gironde (Sacha Girondi) is a former student of Ecole normale supérieure in Paris (1990-1994). After graduate studies in philosophy of law and philosophy of language and a dissertation in the latter discipline (1998), he became an assistant professor at Ecole normale supérieure (2000) and then a full professor at Université Aix-Marseille (2010). In 2012 he was appointed as a professor of behavioral economics and law and economics at University Paris-2 Panthéon-Assas which is the main Law and Law and Economics Faculty in France. Prof. Bourgeois-Gironde has coordinated numerous national and international research projects, including the current European project BiOcean5D, in which he is involved in envisioning new economic and legal instruments for the preservation of marine biodiversity. His current interests concern an assessment of possible transformations of the legal frameworks that shape our relationship with nature, particularly focusing on the possibility of subjective rights attributed to entities such as rivers, diverse ecosystems, the ocean, snow, and climatic processes. Transformations of extant environmental legal paradigms connect with fundamental legal-theoretical questions such as legal personhood, the scope of property and sovereignty, or how the natural world tends to be framed in and by law.
