Thibaud Boncourt

I am currently a Professor of Political Science at Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3, researcher at Triangle, and Junior Fellow of the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF). I also cohold the programme on "Science, knowledge, and academic freedom" of the France-Quebec Research Chair on Contemporary Issues in Freedom of Expression. I received my Ph.D. from Sciences Po Bordeaux in 2011, and spent time as a research fellow at the European University Institute, Central European University, Université libre de Bruxelles, Aarhus University, and the University of Cambridge. I was also an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, for five years.

I mainly work on the relationship between knowledge and power, science policies, the history of the social sciences, and the transnational circulation of ideas. I currently study scientific misconduct, research integrity policies, the politics of truth and knowledge claims, and academic freedom. I teach courses related to political sociology, international relations, and research methods.
