« Le savant en politique »

Abstract

La Nouvelle Revue du Travail asked three social science researchers holding political office to give their views on the possible links between their field of expertise and political action. The discussions, in the form of a series of questions, invite our three interlocutors to share their opinions: what does it mean to be involved in politics as a researcher in the humanities and social sciences?
