Doctoral candidate at University of Rouen Nomandie (NIMEC)

Félix Jelen is a PhD candidate under the supervision of the prof. Renaud Garcia-Bardidia.
Using qualitative methods, his work seeks to understand users of collaborative consumption in general, and Airbnb users in particular. Using both « dispositionalist and contextualist » Lahire’s theory and Goffman theoretical frame, he focuses his analysis on the interactions between members.

More broadly, he is also interested in Tourism studies, sociological approaches to consumption and qualitative methods.
