Paul Jobin is an assistant professor at the Université Paris Diderot and leads the Taiwan branch of the French Center for the Study of Contemporary China (Centre d’Études Français sur la Chine contemporaine). He has written Maladies industrielles et renouveau syndical au Japon [Industrial Sicknesses and the Revival of Japanese Unions] (Editions EHESS, 2006) et co-edited Santé au travail, Approches critiques [Health in the Workplace, Critical Assessments] (La Découverte, 2012). Since the 2011 disaster, he has pursued a research started 10 years ago with the workers of the nuclear plant of Fukushima Daiichi, looking specifically at the social mobilizations that take the Japanese government to task for its denial of industrial sicknesses there.
