Estelle FOURAT
Biography
Estelle Fourat’s research focuses on the social issues and the cultural dimensions of access to food, through a comprehensive approach to food practices and decisions. Her doctoral thesis (PhD in sociology obtained in 2015 at the University Toulouse Jean Jaurès, France) supported that there is a cultural autonomy in dietary decisions regarding proteins consumption. As part of a precedent postdoctoral position at the Université Libre de Brussels (Belgium), her work focused on the practices of social inclusion of an alternative food network. From September 2018 to October 2019, she undertook a second postdoctoral research (grant from the foundation Croix Rouge française) to study food practices of asylum seekers, and she is hosted at the Institut de recherche interdisciplinaire sur les enjeux sociaux (Iris, EHESS, Paris).
