Jen Schradie

Après avoir réalisé plusieurs films documentaire, Jen Schradie a obtenu un doctorat en sociologie délivré par l'Université de Californie et le Centre pour les nouveaux médias de Berkeley. Ses domaines de recherche couvrent plusieurs aspects sociaux des technologies d'information-communication : fracture numérique, activisme social, travailleurs du digital... Dans une optique sociologique, ses résultats de recherche contestent les visions utopiques de la démocratie digitale ou dystopiques des méfaits d'internet. Elle constate que les structures sociales inégalitaires, les institutions bureaucratiques et l'idéologie politique sont des facteurs influant sur l'usage d'Internet. Ses recherches se situent au croisement de la stratification sociale et des inégalités, de la communication et de la technologie, des mouvements revendicatifs, de la sociologie politique. Elle poursuit actuellement une étude comparative sur le rôle du genre et de l'origine sociale dans l'économie des start-up en France et aux Etats-Unis et analyse par ailleurs les discours anti-musulmans sur les réseaux sociaux. En intégrant des méthodes qualitatives et quantitatives, des données "en" et "hors" ligne, elle met en perspective les disparités et variations de participation à la société digitale.
