Senior Lecturer

Philippe Hert is a lecturer at Aix-Marseille University and a researcher at the Centre Norbert Elias UMR8562, EHESS-CNRS-UAPV-AMU, where he is co-responsible for the "Sciences, Natures and Societies" axis. After he finished his engineering studies and a first experience at France Telecom, he turned to anthropology (DEA in Anthropology) and social work (in a reception and social reintegration structure). This field experience allowed him to develop a reflection and analysis on the relationship to knowledge, which led to a doctoral thesis in anthropology of science in 1998. He then published the first existing field survey on the use of the Internet in France. His work then focused on communication practices in the sciences, and led to several funded research projects (ACI from the Ministry of Research, ANR). Since 2008, he has been working on indigenous knowledge, and has conducted research in Bolivia and Brazil. His latest publications concern the relationship to the body in scientific research.
