Feukeu is also a member of the editorial board of two scientific journals, Futures and Prospective et stratégie.

A legal scholar by training, she focuses her recent works on the role that norms play in the production and evolution of anticipatory systems using lessons learned from decolonial studies and pluralist legal contexts as evidence of complexity. She is currently a PhD candidate in Complexity Studies and Law at University of Lancaster (UK). She holds a Master’s Degree in business litigation and arbitration and a Bachelor in African studies from Sciences Po Paris.
