Lea Pessin Receives ERC Grant
Léa Pessin is an assistant professor of Sociology and Demography. She recently joined CREST in the sociology team.
Léa holds a PhD in Sociology and Demography from the Pompeu Fabra University obtained in 2016. She also completed an NICHD postdoctoral fellow at the Population Research Institute and spent the last year of her Ph.D. as a visiting pre-doctoral scholar at the Maryland Population Research Center. She was a 2018 Work and Family Researchers Network Early Career Fellow.
Léa previously worked in the department of Sociology and Criminology and was a faculty associate at the Population Research Institute at the Pennsylvania State University.
Her research agenda focuses on the unequal consequences of the gender revolution on women’s work and family outcomes across class, race, and contexts. She applies quantitative methods to cross-national and longitudinal data to explore variation across countries and time. Her work has been published in Demography, Social Forces, The Journal of Marriage and Family, Demographic Research, The European Sociological Review, and The Journal of Personal and Social Relationships.
As a recognition to her exceptional contributions to sociology, Lea Pessin has recently been awarded an ERC grant, reaffirming her dedication to advancing the boundaries of knowledge in her field.
Léa Pessin was awarded the ERC Starting Grant to work on Social Inequalities in Work-Family Strategies Within and Across 24 Industrialized Countries (WeEqualize).
“WeEqualize” is a research project that aims to understand the complex dynamics of the gender revolution’s impact on work-family patterns in different-sex couples across 24 countries from the 1960s to the present. It acknowledges that despite predictions of linear progress toward gender equality in work and home responsabilities, various structural and cultural factors have stalled this convergence in industrialized countries. The project seeks to characterize and quantify social inequalities in work-family strategies, identify typologies of these strategies, and examine their prevalence across education levels and countries. It also explores the role of contextual factors, changing demographics, and the influence of gender beliefs and labor market constraints on couples’ choices. WeEqualize combines computational methods and survey-based experimental data to challenge and reshape our understanding of gender equality within families.

CREST, a multidisciplinary laboratory
On June 19, 2023, CREST organized a day dedicated to doctoral students was held.
At this event, doctoral students from the 4 research divisions (economics, sociology, finance-insurance and statistics) were able to exchange ideas with their colleagues and present their areas of research.
Multidisciplinarity…
CREST favors an interdisciplinary approach to tackling complex issues. This synergy between different areas of expertise enriches research and provides innovative perspectives in a variety of fields such as the sociology of work, public economics, green finance, political economy, statistical analysis of networks and many others.
Thanks to this multidisciplinary approach, the CREST laboratory fosters fruitful collaborations between researchers from different backgrounds, encouraging the emergence of innovative solutions to contemporary societal challenges.
Fields of research by division
… At all levels
CREST maintains a wide range of academic and industrial partnerships beyond its core themes. These enriching interdisciplinary collaborations help to provide innovative solutions and tackle complex challenges in a wide range of sectors. CREST works with financial institutions (Caisse des dépôts et consignation, La Banque Postale Asset Management, HSBC AM) and public institutions (Ile de France region) to examine the determinants and impacts of integrating environmental, social and governance issues into investment decisions or to assess their climate and sustainable finance action plans (City of Paris, Ile de France region).
These interdisciplinary partnerships demonstrate CREST’s commitment to tackling contemporary challenges by mobilizing a wide range of knowledge and expertise.
Doctoral studies at CREST
Working in the CREST laboratory, doctoral students benefit from a stimulating environment, conducive to the exchange ideas and collaboration with researchers from a variety of backgrounds. This diversity of approaches fosters the acquisition of cross-disciplinary skills and enables doctoral students to develop a holistic vision of their field of study, strengthening their ability to conduct innovative research and meet the challenges of tomorrow.

Cartographie mondiale des travailleurs à bas coût nécessaires à l’IA.
Une course folle, qui a pris sa source dans la Silicone Valley, est lancée et s’attache à conquérir de nombreux domaines, tels la science, la médecine, l’armée mais aussi des domaines moins attendus tels la littérature ou l’art…
L’IA fascine, elle est au cœur des préoccupations des plus grandes puissances économiques.
Virtuelle et basée sur des centaines de milliards de datas et d’algorithmes, il est difficile d’imaginer que cette gigantesque vague virtuelle a besoin de milliers de petites mains à travers le monde pour parfaire son bon fonctionnement.
Paola Tubaro
Paola Tubaro, membre du CREST et chercheuse au CNRS, est une sociologue économique qui utilise l’analyse des réseaux sociaux pour mettre en lumière les transformations contemporaines des marchés et des organisations. Ses recherches actuelles portent sur l’économie des plateformes numériques, les réseaux de production mondiaux de l’industrie de l’intelligence artificielle, le rôle du travail humain dans le développement de l’automatisation et les inégalités numériques.
Elle s’intéresse également à l’éthique des données et de l’intelligence artificielle.
Elle donne des cours sur la science des réseaux, l’éthique des données et la science responsable, ainsi que sur la conception de la recherche.
