Léa Denieul Pinsky

Léa Denieul Pinsky is a postdoctoral researcher at INRS. Her work focuses on the role of maps in shaping memory, identities, and geohistorical narratives tied to place. She is particularly interested in how marginalized communities—Indigenous and non-Indigenous—reclaim space through practices of counter-mapping and counter-archiving. This work has led her to broaden her focus to the geographies of memory, examining how different forms of mapping (digital, sensory, narrative, and embodied) can help community members explicit spatial experiences which can, sometimes, be traumatic.
