Olivier Borraz
For the last 15 years, Olivier Borraz has conducted research in the field of risk.
Initially, he was interested in crises in the area of food safety and controversies surrounding environmental health. In addition, he has analyzed decision-making processes in health safety, the creation and operation of health safety agencies, and more generally risk regulation policies in both the health and environmental sectors.
He later began to explore issues surrounding the emergence or non-emergence of certain environmental health risks, as well as the production of related knowledge and skills.
More recently, his research has taken two directions. On the one hand, he analyzes the role of government in crisis preparation and management, looking specifically at the nuclear sector. On the other, he is participating in a comparative study on the spread of risk instruments in France, the United Kingdom, Germany, and the Netherlands, in sectors as diverse as occupational health, flooding, criminal policy, and education.
Lastly, he is working to develop a socio-economic analysis of risk.
In 2008, he published Les politiques du Risque(Sciences Po University Press) and a new series devoted to public policy (Politiques Publiques, Sciences Po University Press) with Virginie Guiraudon.
At the CSO, he directs the Risk governance program and collaborates on the healthcare program.

Eric Meyer
Historian, Eric Meyer first researched on the interaction between colonial capitalism and rural society in South Asia with particular reference to peasants, planters and the State in modern Sri Lanka. Late 20th century developments in Sri Lanka led him to analyse the historical background of a multiple political crisis characterized by youth mobilization, ethnolinguistic identification, religious reaffirmation and democratic decline, and to situate the Sri Lankan case within the general history of South Asia. Combining direct observation of the Sri Lankan political and social scene from the 1970s to the present day, with the analysis of long term cultural trends, his focus is on the instrumentalization of history in the construction of the Sinhala-Buddhist identity, on the development of the Tamil separatist ideology at home and in the diaspora, and on the failure of the Sri Lankan political class. His publications include: Sri Lanka, Biography of an island, between local and global (2006) and Une Histoire de l’Inde, les Indiens face à leur passé (2007, 2nd ed. forthcoming in 2019)

Nira Wikramasinghe
Nira Wikramasinghe’s primary interests are identity politics, everyday life under colonialism and the relationship between state and society in modern South Asia. She has pursued these interests through investigation into such diverse themes as politics of dress, civil society, citizens and migrants, and objects of consumption. Trained as a historian, she has written on late colonial and modern Sri Lanka, using a variety of archives. In the last few years, her work has moved from a focus on national history albeit from a non-state perspective to an approach that contests the nation as a frame and attempts to capture other dimensions of belonging which might be best encapsulated in the term “postnational”. She has completed a book on ordinary peoples’ encounter with the “modern” using as a lens machines such as the sewing machine, gramophone, tram and bicycle. Her current research addresses the genre of minor histories through studies of slaves, migrants and mutineers in the Indian Ocean world. In addition to her research and teaching she intervenes regularly in public debates and contribute essays and op.eds to Opendemocracy and the Wall Street Journal.
