Emmanuel Delille

Dr. Emmanuel Delille serves as an Affiliated Researcher at the Institute for Ethics and History of Health in Society within the Medical School of Humboldt University of Berlin. A historian of science, technology, and health, his work centers on psychiatric history and social sciences across Canadian, French, and German contexts.

His academic credentials include a PhD from École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) and a Habilitation from École Normale Supérieure (ENS), both in Paris. These qualifications underpin his expertise in comparative historical methodologies.

Dr. Delille's research explores the historical foundations of psychiatric practices, mental health systems, and ethical frameworks. His work bridges historical analysis with contemporary bioethics, particularly examining how past psychiatric classifications influence current data-driven health ethics and public health policy. Key thematic threads include transcultural psychiatry, epidemiological history, and sociopolitical transformations in psychological disciplines.

Recent editorial projects reveal a trajectory emphasizing cross-national comparisons and ethical implications: from 2018's 'Historicizing Transcultural Psychiatry' through 2024's 'Psychiatric Epidemiology in Historical Perspectives', demonstrating sustained focus on historical-ethical interfaces in mental health.

Recognition includes:

• 2022 Award from French Académie des Sciences Morales et Politiques for habilitation thesis 'Une histoire comparée de la psychiatrie'

While specific supervision details are unconfirmed, the institute hosts active medical doctorates and student researchers.
