Clément BUR serves as a Maître de Conférences (Associate Professor) in ancient history at INU Champollion (Albi), affiliated with the Heritage, Literature, History (PLH) research unit at Université Toulouse-Jean Jaurès. His academic profile centers on the political, institutional, and social dimensions of the Roman world, with special emphasis on the Republican and Imperial periods.
BUR earned his Doctorate in History from Université Panthéon-Sorbonne - Paris I in 2013 with his dissertation "La citoyenneté dégradée : recherches sur l'infamie à Rome de 312 avant J.-C. à 96 après J.-C." He also holds credentials as a History graduate and from Sciences Po Paris, reflecting his interdisciplinary foundation in historical methodology and political science.
His research explores three interconnected thematic strands: political and institutional history of Rome (particularly the Republic and early Empire), Roman law and legal sociology, and social history focusing on representations of aristocracy, dishonorable activities, authority, and trust. The concept of infamy and its relationship to citizenship forms a unifying thread throughout his scholarly work, culminating in his significant monograph "Degraded Citizenship. A History of Infamy in Rome (312 BC – 96 AD)" published in the Collection of the French School of Rome.
BUR's recent publications (2021-2025) reveal consistent scholarly productivity with a focus on Roman political institutions, social status systems, and legal concepts. His work demonstrates methodological sophistication through the integration of textual analysis with sociological perspectives on ancient institutions. Key research interests include the censorship system, electoral legislation, the concept of infamy, and mechanisms of political power transmission in the Roman Republic.
He actively collaborates with scholars like Thibaud Lanfranchi and participates in international academic forums including the Rencontres Franco-Espagnoles d'Histoire de la République Romaine (REFERER) and conferences on governance structures. His teaching portfolio encompasses Introduction to Ancient History (L1), Greek History (L2), Roman History (L3), methodology courses, and heritage promotion with digital humanities applications.
