History, Health, Work, Environment (HSTE) seminar: "Classified as carcinogenic: a history of the classifications of the International Agency for Research on Cancer" with Valentin Thomas, sociologist, CNRS researcher at the Cermes3 laboratory (UMR 8211).

The History, Health, Work and Environment (HSTE) research seminar is part of the Ecology and Care of Living Worlds section of the Norbert Elias Centre (UMR 8562). It is coordinated by Sylvain Bertschy, as part of the ToxCit Chair (Avignon University), with Moritz Hunsmann and Judith Wolf, co-director of the GISCOPE 84.

The aim is to explore the history of the relationship between health, work and the environment. The aim is to understand the processes of degradation/preservation/restoration of the environment and human health in their own historical context, and to examine the frameworks of rationality (lay, philosophical, scientific, legal, technical, etc.), the social configurations and the systems of action which, at different scales, make them possible (modes of governance and regulation).

This seminar is primarily aimed at researchers and students (primarily Masters and PhD students) from various disciplines (human and social sciences, environmental sciences, life sciences, etc.), but is open to all.

The first session will take place Thursday 28 November from 3pm to 5pmon the Hannah Arendt campus, room 0w33, on the theme :

Classified as carcinogenic: a history of the classifications of the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

With Valentin Thomas, sociologist, CNRS researcher at the Cermes3 laboratory (UMR 8211)
