Produits de la recherche

Notre groupe rédige des articles et des livres académiques et des documents accessibles au grand public. Nous donnons aussi des conférences à des spécialistes et des non-spécialistes, dans le monde entier. Ci-dessous, veuillez trouver une liste de nos travaux. Pour chaque publication, membres du laboratoire sont marqué·e·s en gras.

Notez qu’en tant que groupe, nous décourageons la publication de nos travaux sur des sites à but lucratif comme Academia.edu ou ResearchGate. Tous nos articles peuvent au contraire être trouvés ici et dans diverses autres archives de preprints en libre accès.
