SINDY PAEZ-ORTIZ'S ISA-LABELLED THESIS MODELS THE MEDIATOR'S ROLE OF AEROSCOPIA MUSEUM

Her thesis recently labelled by the Institute for Sustainable Aviation follows on from an exploratory study carried out in 2022 on the social representations of aeronautics by Toulousians and professionals in the field, in order to analyse the extent to which aeronautics is a heritage of the "city of aeronautics and space".

The aim is to examine the role that the aeroscopia museum can play in the dialogue between those involved in Toulouse’s aeronautical industry, the general public and local authorities, in order to promote the city’s aeronautical heritage.

The results of this research will be used to formulate ways of rethinking the museum’s scenographic spaces, and also to model the role of mediator played by the museum in taking account of expectations and building dialogue between the various groups of stakeholders.

The thesis is supervised by Mylène Costes (LERASS-UT2J) and Nathalie Spanghero-Gaillard (LERASS-UT2J). It is financed under a Convention Industrielle de Formation par la Recherche (Cifre) involving the Manatour company and the ANRT, in partnership with the Laboratoire d’Études et des Recherches Appliquées en Sciences Sociales (LERASS) and the Ecole Nationale de l’Aviation Civile (ENAC).
