Louise Beaumais serves as an Associate Research Fellow at Sciences Po's Center for International Studies (CERI) from April 2025 to March 2028. Concurrently completing her PhD under joint supervision from Sciences Po and Polytechnique/LinX, she operates at the intersection of Foreign Policy Analysis and Sociology of Quantification with a regional focus on Arctic security.
Her research examines how states weaponize numerical data to construct policy credibility and strategic imaginaries ('datafiction'), using British and French Arctic policies as primary case studies. Through the multinational Datawar project, she investigates humanitarian data practices and early warning systems across France, Germany, and the UK, revealing bureaucratic realities behind data-driven security claims.
Dr. Beaumais's recent publications reveal a cohesive trajectory analyzing quantitative data's political functions: from humanitarian decision-making to military databases and early warning systems. Her work consistently demonstrates how numerical representations serve strategic purposes beyond objective measurement, particularly in security contexts and polar geopolitics.
She actively contributes to Sciences Po's teaching mission through undergraduate instruction in global studies and specialized assistantships in democracy studies, genocide analysis, and speculative futures. Her research profile combines empirical rigor with theoretical innovation regarding data's role in contemporary international relations.
