My research falls within the scope of the political and historical sociology of the European Union. It focuses on knowledge and expertise in the economic, legal and environmental fields. My current research project focuses on the socio-history of foresight in European integration. Drawing on a variety of archives, interviews and observations, it aims to trace the development of a field of expertise on the future in the European Union, with a particular focus on economic and environmental foresight issues.
