In recent decades, the right to die has emerged as one of
the most divisive social and political questions in North
America and Europe, one that involves the mobilization of
numerous social actors and activists as well as several
legal challenges. In Québec, the provincial legislature
formed the “Select Committee on Dying with Dignity”, a
group of...
This article analyzes the writings of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross through the discursive lens of the phrase "dying with dignity." For her, the phrase meant allowing someone to die comfortably his/her own death. This phrase has to be understood in relationship with the final "stage of acceptance" of her model. Describing this key part of her well-known sc...

This article, written in 1994, examines the place of sociology in American public discourse and notes that the main media and politicians ignore sociological assumptions and results. While the sociological audience at all levels is rather small, this reality has a number of negative consequences on the ways in which sociologists behave. T...

Childhood overweight is not restricted to developed countries: a number of lower- and middle-income countries are struggling with the double burden of underweight and overweight. Another public health problem that concerns both developing and, to a lesser extent, developed countries is food insecurity. This study presents a comparative gender-based...

Constatant la très faible présence de la sociologie dans l'espace public suisse - en dehors des cercles de spécialistes, elle est à peu près invisible -je souhaite e développer une bande-dessinée humoristique sur la sociologie, les sociologues et leurs petites manies et défauts. Afin d’intéresser le plus grand nombre, il est à mon sens nécessaire de se montrer tel que nous sommes. Cette BD se présenterait sous la forme d’une succession de dialogues entre un père sociologue et sa fille de 5 ans. Plusieurs de ces dialogues ont déjà été écrits. Je suis aujourd’hui à la recherche d’illustrateurs bénévoles pour ce projet, voire également d’autres auteurs sociologues pour améliorer, compléter les dialogues déjà écrits.
Ma recherche postdoctorale (2019-2022) financée par le Fonds national de la recherche scientifique s’intéresse à l’investissement d’impact dans la région lémanique. Ces pratiques et discours qui visent à la fois un retour financier autant qu’un impact social ou environnemental, font partie d’un capitalisme qui parle un langage moral et cherche à rendre le monde meilleur par le business. Mon projet s’inscrit dans la « nouvelle sociologie de la morale » qui s’intéresse à la nature, aux causes et aux conséquences des idées des individus et groupes sur le bien/mal le juste/injuste etc. Il fait partie d’une trajectoire de recherche personnelle et interdisciplinaire qui se centre sur l’analyse sociologique de la morale ou de l’éthique.
