Biography
Renaud Crespin’s work is grounded in a theoretical framework that integrates three analytical perspectives: the sociology of public action, the sociology of science and technology, and the sociology of work.
This research, which examines the processes of rationalization of public action in the fields of health and the environment, focuses primarily on comparing the processes of implementing prevention policies (screening, selection of blood donors) across different spheres of activity (blood donation, the fight against HIV/AIDS, road safety, drug control, and the workplace) and on the role of technical and scientific expertise in the construction of public health issues, particularly environmental ones (indoor air pollution).
