Pablo Cussac

Doctor in political science


Pablo Cussac holds a PhD in political science from Sciences Po. His PhD dissertation on teacher performance evaluation instruments in Mexico and Chile was prepared at the CEE under the supervision of Philippe Bezes (Sciences Po, CEE, CNRS) and Hélène Combes (Sciences Po, CERI, CNRS). Using a comparative approach inspired by the historical sociology of the State and the instruments of public action, his work attempts to understand how the administration has been reconfigured and the different ways in which the teaching profession has been state-controlled in these two countries, at a time of new public management and government by performance.

After being a temporary Lecturer and Researcher at the Social Sciences Department of the École Normale Supérieure, he will start a Postdoctoral Researcher position at the Université de Lille as part of the UNERGY project.
