Camille Collin is a doctoral student and ATER (a state-funded temporary contract researcher) in political theory at the CEVIPOF. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in political science from the Université Paris VIII and a Master's degree in political theory from Sciences Po. She has spent time as a visiting doctoral student at Tel Aviv University's School of Philosophy. In 2023, she was awarded the second “Jeunes Chercheur CNAF” prize, on the basis of a proposal for an original academic article.
Her thesis, supervised by Astrid Von Busekist (Sciences Po, CERI), is entitled “The government of the ordinary dead and its ‘universe’: a theory of post-mortem justice”. She proposes a reflection on the different values that inform how the dead are governed in contemporary France, based on the analysis of three case studies: funeral legislation, the post-mortem organ harvesting system and the contemporary framework for donating one’s body to science.
