• Disciplines : political science, political philosophy, history of political and economic thought, sociology, urban planning, gender studies

UMR 5206 Triangle was created in 2005 following the idea that this pluridisciplinary choice could lead to something better than a mere addition of competencies and contribute to a fuller understanding of political thought and action.

The unit is structured around 5 specialized hubs and 5 cross-disciplinary lines of research.

• 124 academic teachers / researchers [Contacts & CVs]
• 130 PhD students [Contacts & CVs]

The way the unit is managed, along principles established by the Conseil de laboratoire, fosters research initiatives at all levels : specialized hubs, collectives and individual projects, informal and transversal groups (groups in which new thematics can more easily grow), strong support to doctoral students, and to documentary and (traditional and online) publishing policies. In that respect, our administrative staff (ITA) plays a major role in the unit’s life.
