Sociology – EHESS

I’m writing a thesis on the ordinary relationship to health of parents of young children, using a mixed methodology (Elfe survey, interviews with families and observations of pediatric consultations). The aim of my work is to gain a detailed understanding of the diversity of attitudes towards medical expertise (self-surrender, conformism, rejection, consent) and their variations in social space. In this way, I aim to shed new light on the phenomena of mistrust of medicine, by reinscribing them in families’ ordinary relationships to health.
