Mathieu QUET

Mathieu Quet, sociologist, is a research director at Institut de Recherche pour le Développement and a member of the Centre Population et Développement (Ceped), Université Paris Cité. His research has focused upon the social aspects of pharmaceutical development in India and the Global South; he is more generally interested in observing the globalization of technological markets from Global South countries. He has supervised the “Anipharm” project, funded by the French National Research Agency, which was studying the pharmaceutical uses of animal life from the angle of “Science, Technology and Society” studies (STS). He is also part of the Globalsmog project studying the governance of air pollution in Global South metropolises. He aims at contributing to the development of the “postcolonial studies of technoscience” subset within the STS community, through the study of multiple areas from pharmaceuticals to digital tools and logistical infrastructures.
