Speaker Bios
Estelle Carde is an associate professor of Sociology at the Université de Montréal, Canada. Her main research interest is social inequalities in health. Her first researches focused on foreigners and racial minorities’ health. Her angle was the discriminations in their access to care. Some of these studies were conducted in French Guiana, an oversea French territory, whose ethnic composition, slavery past and location in South America give altogether a specific configuration to such discriminations within the French health system. She has subsequently broadened her approach to social inequalities in health by considering other social status than that of foreign origin and race, such as socio-economic status and gender, in an intersectional perspective. Her present research focuses on the social inequalities in the credibility of the speech of people who report suffering from chronic pain.
