Clémentine Gozlan

Former student of the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon (2007-2011), I completed my Ph.D thesis in sociology at Sciences Po Paris. Since I defended my dissertation in November 2016, I am a postdoctoral fellow in sociology at the Centre de Sociologie des Organisations (CNRS/Sciences Po Paris, France). My main research interests are related to the scientific policies in the contemporary period. My Ph.D thesis dealt with research assessment in the Social Sciences and Humanities, in a controverted agency set in 2007. Based on interviews, ethnographic observations and archives, I approached the elaboration and the uses of evaluative instruments close to the actors who conceive and implement them. At the crossroad of public policy analysis, sociology of science and sociology of professions, I show that the definition of scientific “good practices” is manufactured through intra-professional alliances and conflicts, rather than it would reflect top down reforms imposed to the profession.
