About Serge Paugam
Serge Paugam is an internationally renowned sociologist whose work on inequalities, social disruptions, and contemporary forms of social ties is authoritative. He defended his doctoral thesis at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in 1988. He is currently a research director at CNRS and a research director at EHESS.
Several of his works have become classics and have illuminated social and political debate in France and abroad: Social Disqualification (1991), The Employee of Precarity (2000), The Elementary Forms of Poverty (2005), The Social Link (2008). The collective work Reconsidering Solidarity: The Contribution of Social Sciences, which he directed in 2007, has resonated significantly with actors in economic, social, and political life.
He created and directs the collection “The Social Link” as well as the academic journal Sociology at PUF. He is responsible for the Research Team on Social Inequalities (ERIS) at the Maurice Halbwachs Center.
In his current research program, he studies the foundations of social ties based on several major international surveys and distinguishes different regimes of social attachment at work in contemporary societies.
