Claudine Dauphin's research focuses on understanding the complexities of cultural exchange and population dynamics in the Middle East, particularly along the Jordanian- Syrian border. Recent studies explore the Darb al-Hajj pilgrimage route, where travelers traverse a fragile ecological zone inhabited by Fallahin (farmers) and Bedouin communities. Dauphin's work sheds light on the intricate relationships between these groups, their environmental interactions, and the impact of external factors such as climate change and conflict on this critical buffer zone. By examining the historical and contemporary dynamics of this region, Dauphin contributes to our understanding of human-environment interactions in a critical global context.
