Biography

Sciences Po

Léonie Hénaut’s research deals with sociology of work, occupations and organizations. Her prime theoretical focus is in professionalization and organizational rationalization, and how the two processes interact with each other and transform the division of labor. She conducts her research in various areas: policies and innovation fostering health and social care integration in France and the UK, cultural heritage occupations in France, and the transformation of US museums. In particular, Léonie is interested in the multi-occupational and collaborative work and work-settings that emerge in complex organizations. Combined with documentary and statistical data, her ethnography and interview-based studies nourish a processual and grounded approach of occupations and organizations.

Her work on health and social care policies has benefited from a long-term collaboration with Marie-Aline Bloch (EHESP) and several research grants: Léonie was co-PI with Blanche LeBihan (EHESP) of the Polia-Inlove Idex project (2013-2016) and participate in the qualitative evaluation of the PAERPA pilot program for the ministry of Health and Social care with Marie-Aline Bloch, Sébastien Gand (SciencesPo Grenoble) and Elvira Periac (Audencia Business School). On cultural heritage occupations in France, part of Leonie’s work has been conducted in close collaboration with Frédéric Poulard (Lille 1). Her recent research on art conservators has been funded by the ministry of Culture and Communication, and conducted with Jasmina Stevanovic and Gabriele Pinna. Finally, on her project on American museums, she has the chance to work with Anna Egea and Marie-Sophie Dumont-Tanner at CSO.
