The PhD and PostDoc Society is open to every PhD and PhD candidates: French and English speakers from all disciplines and levels of experience. It aims to provide resources and support for all PhD-related things, helping you to be more efficient and progress with peace of mind. Furthermore, we share tips and tricks regarding the newest tools to find relevant literature; paper writing methods; graph design for communication efficiency; time management strategies and tools; scientific communication; mental health management for young researchers, and much more (and even some small scale social events to relax after work :)).
You can get involved with any or all the activities we offer, get in touch
About the Society: we benefit from the material and human support of multiple bodies at ULB (e.g. Doctoral Unit, the Libraries) but, at the core, we are an organically formed group of motivated and volunteering PhDs from multiple faculties at ULB.
"By PhDs for PhDs" is an approach that guarantees the relevancy of the material we provide.

Dr Anne-Sophie Crosetti
Admin
Anne-Sophie Crosetti est postdoctorante Chargée de Recherche à l'Université libre de Bruxelles, financée par le FNRS. Elle a réalisé sa thèse en sociologie en tant qu'aspirante du FNRS sur la prise en charge de la planification familiale, de l'avortement et de la contraception par des groupes catholiques en Belgique durant la "révolution sexuelle", dans le cadre de l'action de recherche collective et interdisciplinaire "Sex&Pil". Elle est diplômée en sciences sociales de l’École Normale Supérieure de Paris et en sciences politiques de l’Université Paris VIII. Elle a également étudié en tant que research graduate student à l’Université de Cambridge.
Son projet de recherche porte sur les mouvements "pro-vie" en Belgique, en France et en Irlande, dans une perspective internationale et socio-historique. Ses recherches se situent plus généralement au croisement de la sociologie du genre, des sexualités et du religieux.
