Christel Gumy

Christel Gumy is a historian of science and medicine. As part of her PhD thesis, she developed a social and cultural history of the adolescent brain from a gender perspective. She analyzed the way cognitive and developmental neurosciences, an evolutionary vision of adolescence and public health concerns about youth participate in the construction of a cerebral adolescence defined by its immaturity and propensity to take risks. More generally, she develops a critical reflection on the social and cultural neurosciences, particularly on the terms that govern the interdisciplinarity between neurosciences and the humanities and social sciences.
