Sahar Aurore Saeidnia
Collaboratrice ULB
Sahar Aurore Saeidnia is a researcher at Institut français du Proche-Orient in Beirut, Lebanon. She was a Cofund MARIE CURIE postdoctoral researcher at the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) (2019-2022) and a Gerda Henkel postdoctoral researcher at IREMAM (2017-2019). She holds a Ph.D in sociology from the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS Paris). Her research interests have revolved around three main axes related to the Iranian and Lebanese fieldworks: developing a comparative anthropological approach of health politics, reflecting on the circulations of knowledge and norms (from global to micro-local and vice- versa); and exploring methodological and ethical issues raised in sensitive fieldwork. Alongside her publications in peer-reviewed journals (Gouvernement et Action Publique, Revue Internationale de Politique Comparée, Sociétés contemporaines, et.), she has co-edited “Les mondes de la bienfaisance. Les pratiques du bien au prisme des sciences sociales" (CNRS Editions, Paris, 2021). Since 2022, she has worked with Julie Métais on a podcast about knowledge production processes and sensitive experiences, "Les sens de l'enquête".
