Sociologist and anthropologist, specializing in children in China, translator
His research is situated at the crossroads of sociology, anthropology, and geography, and mostly deal with disadvantaged children in China. He has a rich experience of ethnographic research concerning rural migrants’ children in the cities and children "left behind" in the countryside. This work is complemented by an analysis of public mobilizations concerning these children, including the values and emotions that are publicly expressed about them in the Chinese public space. He is also carrying out a long-term reflection on the place of languages in the social sciences, informed by my experience as a translator in the social sciences and as a student then researcher in universities in different countries (France, USA, China), as well as by empirical work on the experience of students living in foreign countries (African students in China and Chinese students in France).
