Sébastien Roux is a sociologist and researcher at the CNRS since 2011, currently serving as deputy director of the IRL iGlobes joint laboratory between CNRS and the University of Arizona in Tucson. He held a Visiting Professor position at Striges during the 2021-2022 academic year. He completed his doctoral thesis in 2009 at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) under Didier Fassin's supervision, focusing on sex tourism dynamics in Thailand. Roux's research spans sociology of gender and sexuality, race and ethnicity, criminology, and political sociology of family structures. His early work analyzed intimate economies in transnational sex tourism, followed by investigations into racial dynamics in French suburbs and state morality in juvenile justice systems. Current research examines the family as a political institution, particularly the crisis in international adoption. His publications reveal consistent thematic threads: state power regulating intimate relationships, moral frameworks governing marginalized populations, and transnational dimensions of family formation. Key trajectories move from gender/sexuality studies toward political sociology of family and child welfare, with increasing focus on policy implications. Roux's primary institutional affiliation is the IRL iGlobes laboratory, facilitating Franco-American collaborative research in social sciences through its CNRS-University of Arizona partnership.
