Pierre de Jouvancourt is a PhD student in philosophy under the supervision of Bernadette Bensaude-Vincent at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. He holds three Master’s degrees in the fields of engineering (ENSEEIHT), political science (Sciences Po Paris), and philosophy (Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne). His current research deals with the emergence of the problem of the Anthropocene as an historical event. He examines how contemporary industrial societies came about along with the problem of the Anthropocene, expressed as a geological epoch that refers to the advent of the global environmental crisis. This research requires not only the analysis of environmental knowledge, but also the study of the emergence of the more general problem of the global environmental crisis, linked to what can be called industrial modernity. History of science and technology, environmental history, and STS are among the fields his framework of research involves.
