Christine Musselin

Dean of Research

Sciences Po

Christine Musselin is Dean for research of Sciences Po since May 2013, after six years as the director of the Centre de Sociologie des Organisations (CSO), a research unit of Sciences Po and the CNRS. Her research focuses on universities, with particular interest in what characterizes their governance: within this frame, she recently studied the management of the COVID crisis in French higher education institutions. She also conducts a host of studies on higher education policies and inquiries into policies for excellence carried out within the framework of the French government’s “Investing for the Future” programme. Her work thus lies at the crossroads of the sociology of organizations, the sociology of public action, and economic sociology. The vast majority of her research has been undertaken from a comparative perspective and focuses in particular on France, Germany, and the United States.
