Sylvaine Bulle

Sylvaine Bulle is a Professor of Sociology (2nd class) at the University of Paris since 2017, affiliated with the Laboratory of Anthropology of Politics (LAP, UMR 8177 EHESS-CNRS). She is also associated with the Laboratory of Social and Political Change (University of Paris) and the French Research Center in Jerusalem (UMIFRE 7/CNRS-MAEDI). Her research delegation at the Van Leer Institute of Jerusalem (2017-2019) and qualifications as Professor by the National Council of Universities underscore her academic standing.

Her research integrates:

• Sociology and ecology (environmental movements, sovereignty, war)
• Emancipation and autonomy movements
• Israeli-Palestinian conflict and intercommunity relations
• Pragmatic sociology applied to public problems
• Urban sociology and epistemology of social sciences

Recent publications emphasize territorial conflicts, anarchist ecologies, and social movements in Israel/Palestine, often employing ethnographic methods to analyze spatial justice and autonomy. Her work consistently engages with themes of state power, grassroots resistance, and environmental activism.

She co-animates EHESS seminars on sociology/ecology and Israeli contemporary studies, supervises master’s/doctoral candidates, and directs research through the EHESS doctoral school. No awards are documented.

Laboratory engagements include the LAP (primary), Social and Political Change Lab, and French Research Center in Jerusalem, focusing on political anthropology and conflict analysis.
