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 trajectories and social destiny and the effects experienced by public policies that are supposed to improve the living conditions of these populations.

Postdoctoral researcher for the ANR ChiBarAPS project and member of the Convergences Migrations Institute

Theme:

My work falls within the field of health sociology and focuses more specifically on the experiences of people targeted by, or using, medical or public health measures supported by technical solutionism. For example, as part of my thesis, I studied the life trajectories of gay migrant men targeted by HIV prevention policies encouraging screening and preventive treatment, and, as part of my current postdoctoral research, I studied the life trajectories of people undergoing weight loss surgery. The focus on life trajectories and experiences, as well as the mobilization of different sociologies (sexuality, gender, body, sport, etc.), highlight certain blind spots or limitations in medical-technical approaches and the abundant literature that supports them.

Keywords: health – body – sports – migration – sexuality
