Sarah Labelle is a lecturer in Information and Communication Sciences at Université Paris 13. A member of LabSIC, she conducts research on public policy in the field of innovation, on the conditions under which institutions and organizations seize new media, and on the values and norms mobilized by the various players involved in these processes.
Her thesis, defended at Celsa-Paris Sorbonne, focused on the ways in which “information society” programs are requisitioned in cities, and how public and private players mobilize a whole panoply of mechanisms to get involved.
She then co-directed a research and innovation program on serious games as part of the “serious gaming” call for projects, entitled ManEGe. She is continuing her research into the political, educational and cultural stakes of media and platforms aimed at greater public involvement (open data, serious games, mooc...).
