Lucas Dulermo is a contract doctoral student at IMSIC amU, under joint supervision with the GRIPIC-CELSA laboratory. His multidisciplinary background has gradually led him to specialise in the representations offered by audiovisual media, particularly cinema.

After three years in a literary preparatory class (CPGE) with a specialisation in film and audiovisual studies, he took a master's degree in media history at amU. During these two years, he gained experience in scientific mediation around the INA archives and the research archives at the MMSH (Maison méditerranéenne des sciences de l'homme).

Wishing to specialise further in audiovisual media and environmental issues, he joined EJCAM's Ecological Transitions Master's program in September 2024. This course offered him new opportunities for scientific valorisation by hosting a "Midi Sciences" at the IRD in Marseille, as well as through professional immersion at the Atelier de la langue française in Aix-en-Provence.

Roumeissa Kerboua is a doctoral student in information and communication sciences at Aix-Marseille University, affiliated with the IMSIC laboratory. She teaches undergraduate and graduate courses on information retrieval methods and tools, as well as on the definition of a communication plan. Her interdisciplinary research focuses on the analysis of forms of digital visibility, self-presentation practices and the dynamics of recognition on social networks, apprehended in socio-cultural contexts characterised by specific norms and constraints.

With a Ph.D. in Information, Communication and Documentation Sciences from the Université Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3, I defended my thesis entitled "Histoire et mutations communicationnelles des œuvres universitaires: du CSO aux CROUS". This work examines the social and day-to-day evolution of communication in the student environment, through a historical and communicational approach to the Crous.

As a researcher, my research falls within the fields of anthropology of communication, organisational communication, public, social, digital, intercultural and marketing, with a particular interest in the dynamics of public branding, social marketing and the transformations of communication devices in university institutions. I focus on understanding how communicative practices shape collective identities, social uses and representations in public and student spaces.
My current work focuses on the dynamics of extimacy through non-verbal communication, questioning how individuals voluntarily expose certain aspects of their intimacy in public, digital or institutional contexts, notably through bodily, gestural, clothing or spatial signs. This approach aims to understand how self-representation is elaborated outside verbal language, in a logic of identity and social mediation.

Alongside my research activities, I teach courses at EJCAM on community management in social networks, in connection with the contemporary challenges of digital and institutional communication.

I'm also head of the communication service of the Crous of Aix-Marseille Avignon and Vice-President of Communication - Promotion at the French Society of Information and Communication Sciences.
