Charlotte Glinel, winner of the 2023 Sociologie du Travail Young Writers' Prize

The Young Authors' Prize, organised each year by the Sociologie du travail journal, encourages young authors to showcase their research work and confront academic standards by adopting the codes of scientific writing and playing the game of peer review.

Congratulations to Charlotte Glinel, a PhD student at the Institut d'études politiques de Paris (Sciences Po) under the supervision of Sylvain Brunier and Jean-Noël Jouzel (Centre de sociologie des organisations), for winning first prize for her article entitled " « Marteler à coups de peinture. Une analyse des mutations du travail forestier public ». The article looks at the so-called 'hammering' activity carried out by government forestry officials, which involves indicating which trees should be felled, and analyses the dynamics underway in French public forestry, which is undergoing a complete overhaul as a result of climatic, economic and managerial issues. It is based on a field survey of forestry officers, using both field observations and interviews. It is part of a sociology of ecological work that seeks to highlight 'the need for a joint analysis of the domination of nature and workers'.
