Thèmes de recherche - research interests

Martin Aranguren studied sociology, philosophy, political science, and anthropology in Argentina, France, Germany, Senegal, Venezuela, India, and the United States. After completing his PhD at Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in 2014, he was recruited at CNRS in 2015, initially joining the research unit URMIS, then the CRIS in 2021.
Martin’s research seeks to explain macro-social inequalities on the basis of micro-social mechanisms operating at the level of face-to-face interaction. For his empirical work, he uses a diverse palette of methods (all uniquely good for something, none good for everything): archival search, semi-structured interviews, participant observation, analysis of survey/administrative data, and field experiments.
His dissertation proposed an original approach for studying the dynamics of emotional encounters in the context of interpersonal relations. Based on field experiments, his more recent work investigates everyday discrimination in urban public places. His HDR (Habilitation à diriger des recherches) thesis, defended in 2024, puts forward an original research program for investigating the contribution of discrimination to inequalities in mental health.
