Between 2006 and 2011, she worked as Swiss National Science Foundation Professor at Ecole Polytechnique Federale of Lausanne (EPFL). Her research focuses on risk management in many different fields (natural, environmental, technological, urban), with an approach that mixes human geography and sociology of science and techniques. She published “Habiter les territoires à risques” (2011) and the catalogue of the art-science-society exhibition called “Risk in Sight” that she commissioned (2012).
After many migratory movements between Switzerland and Canada, Yvan Leanza, Ph.D., is a full professor in the School of Psychology, Laval University (Québec City) where he teaches cross-cultural psychology and intervention, and leads the “Psychology and Cultures” lab. His research focuses on working with interpreters and relations to the (culturally different) other in healthcare settings and on sleep in a cross-cultural perspective. He is a founding member and the director of Alterstice – International Journal of Intercultural Research. He has edited or authored books on migrant and minority integration processes, and on the relation to the (culturally different) other in pediatrics. He is one of the authors of the only systematic review of interpreting qualitative studies (published in Patient Education and Counselling 91, 2013) and of a chapter on working with interpreters in mental health settings (in Kirmayer, L. et al., 2014, Cultural Consultation, New-York: Springer).
