  • Background and Research Interests

    Dr. Evelyne Baillergeau is a senior lecturer at the University of Amsterdam. She received a Ph.D. in Urban Sociology from the University of Grenoble (France).

    Her main area of research has been the ways European and North American societies conceptualise their margins as social problems and the ways they frame responses to these, whether it is towards social inclusion, criminalisation, rehabilitation, rejection or neutralisation. Drawing upon various policy areas, she has studied how the various responses get along with each other and how they impact marginalised sections of society and those indirectly affected by social inequality. Predominantly resorting to qualitative methods, she considers various viewpoints: those of agencies involved in policy-making and policy implementation and also those of citizens, whether they are directly or indirectly affected by social inequality. Most of her empirical research has been performed in the Netherlands and Canada. She also has a keen interest in other parts of Europe and North America.

    Her most recent research is about the ways young Europeans engage with the future through their commitments in their daily lives and the role of the social context in their attitudes toward the future.

    Evelyne serves as a co-coordinator of the research network 'Youth and Generation' of the European Sociological Association: https://www.europeansociology.org/research-networks/rn30-youth-generation

    Since February 2023, Evelyne is also a senior researcher at EHESS/Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales-Centre Georg Simmel (Paris), working on the EU-funded collaborative project INVOLVE (2023-2026): https://involve-democracy.eu/

    She is also an associate researcher at CESDIP (Centre for Sociological Research on Law and Criminal Justice Institutions - CNRS, France) and an associate member of CREMIS (Montreal's Research Centre on Social Inequality and Discrimination) where she was employed from 2006 till 2013.
