Cancer as an Occupational Disease – Somatosphere


Héloïse Pillayre, postdoctoral researcher, Sciences Po, Lyon, in conversation with Fabien Provost, social anthropologist, French Research Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS).

In this episode, sociologist Héloïse Pillayre recounts her doctoral and postdoctoral journeys, beginning with her study of the controversies surrounding cancer as an occupational disease in France. She then delves into her more recent collaborations at the Centre Léon Bérard (Lyon) and Sciences Po, Lyon to emphasize the importance of ethnography as a method in sociological work.  She discusses her past project on rare cancers and her current research, which addresses the question of evidence within the realm of cancer genomics.
