Mathieu Charbonneau completes unique cotutelle PhD Sociology degree

This morning Mathieu Charbonneau successfully completed a unique cotutelle PhD Sociology degree between Carleton and the Sorbonne, capped with a bilingual defence today at Carleton that included 3 examiners by video from Paris and one from Finland. Mathieu’s medal-nominated dissertation on “Insurance Risks as Fictitious Commodities: The Institutional Constitution of Insurance Markets” was co-supervised by Aaron Doyle and Philippe Steiner from the Sorbonne. Mathieu will be taking up a SSHRC postdoctoral fellowship in January at Concordia University’s Karl Polanyi Institute of Political Economy. Mathieu is the fifth student to complete a cotutelle PhD at Carleton.

Congratulations Mathieu!
