Renaud Crespin

BIO

Renaud Crespin’s work is grounded in a theoretical framework comprising three angles of analysis: the sociology of public action, the sociology of science and technology, and the sociology of labour.

His research, which examines the processes by which public action in the domains of health and the environment is rationalised, focuses mainly on the comparison of processes of instrumentation of preventative policies (screening, selection of blood donors, etc.) in various areas of activity (blood donation, the fight against HIV/AIDS, road safety, the war on drugs, and work) and on the role of technical-scientific expertise in the construction of public health problems—especially environmental ones (e.g., indoor air pollution).
