I have been a freelance conservator-restorer during ten years, specialized in mural painting after a M.A. in Art History and a postgraduate diploma in conservation of cultural properties (University of Paris 1, France). Closely involved in the French professional association (FFCR),during this time, I have had the opportunity to attend to the ICCROM training course of "Sharing Decisions in Conservation" in 2006. This became a real turn in my professional path, allowing me to reconsider the universalism of my practice and my thoughts. This conducted me to pursue my education in a M.A. in Management of Cultural Organizations (University of Paris Dauphine, France). During one year I have been coordinator of an international project of investigation concerning modern architecture in the South part of the Mediterranean. My interest in the Arab world is old, and I began en 2007 a survey in Lebanon concerning the local actors of cultural heritage. The complexity of its multiculturalism context and its links with the French cultural policy draw my attention. I began a PHD in Political Science on a comparative analysis of cultural heritage policy in France and in Lebanon, related with the topic of specific cultural heritages and national cohesion.
