After 3 years of broad based education in political sciences (political science, sociology, international relations, law, political history and political economy) in Grenoble political science institute (Sciences Po) in France, I specialised in social studies of science (STS) still in Grenoble, which I coupled with an Asian studies Master at the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) of Lyon. Having discovered China through a first internship in 2009 at Sino-French center of sociology at Sun Yatsen university in Guangzhou, I came again in 2011 for my Master thesis fieldwork about modernisation of elites in China from 1860’s till today. From October 2011, I have started a PhD thesis at Lausanne University under the direction of Dominique Vinck, a qualitative sociologist specialised in the ethnographic observations of laboratories and engineering. From then on, I started to get closer and closer to anthropology and especially ethnography about which I had never practised. That’s why I went again to China in 2012 with a CUSO program (anthropologists of Western Switzerland). From September 2013 to December 2013, I realized my first ethnographic observation for my PhD thesis. I spent 3 months in Beijing in Beijing Central School, a Sino-French engineering school at Beihang University. Just back from Beijing, I’m eager to mutually exchange with anthropologists again, share ways of looking at fieldwork and to welcome your point of view about preliminary results of my fieldwork material!
