Lisa BUCHTER

I hold a joint Ph.D in Sociology from the Center for the Sociology of Organizations (Science Po Paris) and Northwestern University (Chicago). My thesis explored how activists fighting workplace discrimination find practical solutions to the problems they experience first-hand: new recruitment practices, coaching, awareness-raising campaigns, managerial training and proposed improvements to current diversity policies to better fight discrimination. My latest research project concerns the development of collaborative housing solutions and cooperatives in response to social issues (isolation of the elderly, social diversity, inclusive housing, combating real-estate speculation and gentrification etc.).
