Conducted by Marion Guenot and Rémi Rouge, this collective interview with Maxime Cervulle, Cornelia Möser and Arthur Vuattoux propounds a reflexive approach of the three studies they are involved in (respectively cultural studies, gender studies and on masculinities). Despite the studies adjacency, the interview questions their different institutionalization dynamics and the impacts of theses dynamics on careers, research practices as well as on the critical scope of knowledge and knowledge circulation.
