Student Fellow

Australian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security (ANCORS), University of Wolllongong

Constance Rambourg completed her Master of Maritime Policy with Honours at the University of Wollongong in 2020, where she is now working on a PhD thesis concerning the impacts of conservation geopolitics and post-colonial ocean governance on large-scale marine protected areas (MPAs) located in overseas territories. Constance is an Ocean Nexus student fellow and a research assistant at ANCORS, taking part in various research projects on marine conservation policy, blue economy development and fisheries management. She also teaches undergraduate courses at the University of Wollongong on Ocean Conservation, Development and People. Constance has a background in English and French Law and is fluent in both languages, facilitating her work in francophone territories and States.

In her spare time, you will probably find Constance at the beach taking her dog for a walk or a SUP session, or snorkelling around local reefs. If it’s a rainy day, she’ll be at the climbing gym or trying to learn some tunes on my ukulele.
