Renaud Crespin serves as a CNRS Junior Professor at Sciences Po's Centre for the Sociology of Organisations (CSO), where his research integrates the sociology of public action, science and technology studies, and labor sociology to examine how health and environmental policies are rationalized through technical instruments and scientific expertise. His work critically analyzes the transnational circulation of policy instruments like screening tests across domains including blood donation, HIV/AIDS response, road safety, and drug policy. His academic credentials include: PhD in Political Science from Pantheon-Sorbonne University (2003), with dissertation on "Appropriation and public regulation of a biological tool: The social career of HIV tests, a comparative study (France, USA, Canada, Netherlands)" DEA (M.Phil) in Organisations and Public Policy from Pantheon-Sorbonne University (1995) Master's degree in Political Science from Pantheon-Sorbonne University (1994) Crespin's research reveals how seemingly neutral technical tools become embedded in complex power relations that shape professional practices and policy outcomes.
