Biography

Liliana Doganova is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of the social studies of science and technology (STS), economic sociology, and innovation policy. Her research explores valuation processes—that is, the practices through which values are assigned, negotiated, or certified—particularly in contexts marked by uncertainty and innovation. She analyzes how these mechanisms interact with economic, political, and temporal issues, drawing on a variety of empirical studies, such as environmental markets, innovative drugs, and research funding mechanisms. Her approach highlights the tools and mechanisms (such as discounted cash flow models or regulatory frameworks) that shape these dynamics, as well as their effects on the development of markets and public policies. Her recent work broadens this perspective to include issues of social justice, such as in the case of rare diseases, where she examines alternative models of pharmaceutical innovation and their transformative potential.

Specialized Courses Recommended by the Track - Dynamics of Science and Technology, - Sociology of Markets The choice of specialized courses will be decided through joint discussion between students and the faculty, based on internship topics and students’ interests. Students are advised to take technical specialized courses that will be useful for their elective projects. Students are encouraged to attend seminars at partner institutions that are relevant to their final projects. Elective Course Schedule 2A Study Trip: Its objective is to analyze the links between the technical and political issues raised by innovation, based on meetings and field visits. Examples of possible themes: - Management of emerging risks at the national and European levels (France, UK, Brussels). Field sites: national and European health agencies, national and European government agencies, companies in the chemical sector; - Mining in overseas territories (New Caledonia). Field sites: mining companies, local communities, public authorities October of the 3A program: the course includes: - the acquisition of qualitative and quantitative methodological tools; - workshops based on readings and practical exercises. Theoretical issues are discussed with the aim of contributing to the elective project. Students in the specialization learn to analyze the political dimensions of technical and economic activities, such as risk quantification, market valuation of goods and services, and industrial standardization; - presentations by academic partners of the specialization (on campus or during field visits); - visits to companies and public organizations. Some representative specialization topics: - User testing, engagement with electric vehicle users, and negotiations with local governments.
