Biography
Julien Jeandesboz holds a PhD in Political Science and International Relations from Science Po (Paris). He received an MA in European Political and Administrative Studies from the College of Europe (Bruges) and an MRes in International Relations from Science Po (Paris). His PhD thesis focused on the European neighbourhood policy and developed a sociological analysis of the logics at work through the “uses of the neighbour”.
Dr Jeandesboz was previously a Visiting research fellow at the University of Kent Brussels School of International Studies and a researcher for the European integrated research programme INEX (FP7). He is a member of the Critical Approaches to Security in Europe network (c.a.s.e. collective), an associate researcher in the Centre d’études sur les conflits (Paris) and a member of the editorial teams of the journals Cultures & Conflits (L’Harmattan) and International Political Sociology (Wiley-Blackwell).
Current Research
Julien Jeandesboz is working in the framework of the SAPIENT project (FP7). SAPIENT examines the implications of so-called smart surveillance technologies for fundamental freedoms and rights, with a particular emphasis on privacy and data-protection. He currently researches the politics of security and technology within the European governmental arenas, with a focus on border control, and the relation between security and surveillance. His other research interests include sociological approaches to European construction processes and the sociology of practices.
