Juliette joined Samuel Hall as a project lead in January 2023 and became research lead in September 2023. Before joining Samuel Hall, she worked in programs for local NGOs and social centres in the MENA region and in France, during which she coordinated a platform of information in Lebanon (2021-2022), and implemented social cohesion projects in conflict-affected and marginalized areas in Iraq (2021), France (2018-2020), and Palestine (2016). She specialized in community-based initiatives that give civil society members and organizations tools to express and implement their ideas.

Juliette has been involved in research activities as part of her work in the development sector, as well as through collaborations with research groups in the field of peace and conflict studies, with a focus on urban research and decolonial methodologies and practices. Her individual research focuses on the impact of occupation on the social and affective experience of urbanity for Palestinian residents of the West Bank. In her work, she mobilizes methods and learning from decolonial studies and explores narrative as a tool for urban research, added to more traditional quantitative and qualitative methods. Juliette holds a BA in History and MA in Geography and International Development Studies from the University of Grenoble.
