1. Roles and mission

Contract researcher: writing and editing research projects, responding to calls for tenders, conducting qualitative surveys (ethnography, interviews), transcribing and analyzing interviews, producing research reports, writing scientific articles, organizing conferences or study days, promoting and disseminating research to partners and professionals impacted by the research results.

2. Research topics

After completing a thesis in social anthropology on the material conditions of existence and the logic of exploitation of undocumented migrant workers in Barcelona, I joined the Santésih laboratory at the University of Montpellier in 2013, where I worked on several research projects on health, sport, and disability, first as an assistant professor and then as a postdoctoral researcher:

– one on the effects of the participation of athletes from the French Federation of Adapted Sports (FFSA) in the Paralympic movement,

– another on the transition to adulthood of young people with a chromosomal abnormality causing intellectual disability,

– another on the physical and social transformations associated with bariatric surgery

– another on the social factors of Paralympic performance.

– Finally, one last study focuses on the decline in sports participation among young people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as they transition into adulthood.

Whether it be my work on the Paralympic experience of athletes with disabilities (mental or physical), on that of young athletes with ASD, or on the physical transformations associated with bariatric surgery, each time it is a question of technological, human, and institutional mechanisms intended for vulnerable people, which raise questions about both the renewal of inequalities in life paths and social destiny and the effects experienced by public policies that are supposed to improve the living conditions of these populations.

CYRIAC BOUCHET

06 20 20 11 30

  1. Roles and mission
  2. I hold a PhD in Sociology from the University of Montpellier, where I am a member of the Santésih research unit (UM_211) and the Institut Convergences Migrations (ICM). I received doctoral grants lasting 36 months from ANRS and 12 months from Sidaction.
  3. Member of the coordinating committees for young researcher networks: Health & Society (2021-2022), in social sciences on HIV/AIDS since 2018, and in humanities and social sciences on the body and physical activities since 2021.
  4. Doctoral student representative at Doctoral School 60, on the Faculty's Training and Research Council (CFR), at 3SLF, and at the RECAPPS Institute
  5. Research topics

My doctoral research focuses on the intersection of migration and sexual careers among men seeking asylum in France on the grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity. By analyzing retrospective accounts of their life trajectories prior to arriving in France and conducting longitudinal monitoring of their living conditions throughout the asylum application process, I am able to study how HIV prevention measures specifically targeting this population are implemented. The aim is to position ourselves at the intersection between HIV prevention policy operators and the target population, navigating between institutional rationality and concrete life experiences.

At the same time, my involvement in other research projects with colleagues from the research unit or in networks of young researchers has led me to study how immediate life trajectories and contexts can influence students' continued or discontinued physical activity during the Covid-19 period, or the level of burnout among doctoral students and young doctors.
