  Abstract: Bulletin of Sociological Methodology/Bulletin de Méthodologie Sociologique, Ahead of Print.
  Systematic evidence reviews draw together findings from multiple studies, helping researchers and decision makers to understand patterns of research and findings across varying contexts and research methodologies. They have become more popular over the last twenty years, with various guides discussing the different ways in which they can be conducted and the issues arising in this process. This case study of a systematic review of the factors shaping children’s digital skills explores the challenges, risks and potential strategies in this process, as those involved in that review reflect upon the various judgements involved in choosing inclusion criteria, filtering and coding studies and synthesising the material collected.

  Abstract: Bulletin of Sociological Methodology/Bulletin de Méthodologie Sociologique, Ahead of Print.
  Capturing the effects of context from the desk. A multilevel analysis of the discrimination process. This article examines several methodological challenges associated with the multilevel approach, starting from the choices made during a research project aimed at explaining the recurrence of discrimination in access to social housing. Based on ethnographic surveys mainly carried out at the micro and meso levels, this research adopts a dual focus on professional practices and contextual effects, in order to grasp reproduction processes at the macro level. How to differentiate the levels of analysis through ethnographic enquiry ' How can macro-level elements be extracted from data collected mainly at the micro or meso level' How to characterise the relationships between these different levels of analysis ' To answer these questions, I first propose a brief review of the literature on bureaucratic work and lay the foundations for a multi-level approach to street-level bureaucracy. I then review my main methodological choices, the trajectory of my investigation, and the techniques used to analyse the empirical material. Finally, I show, on the basis of the results of my survey, how the multilevel approach makes it possible to characterise the micro-meso-macro links in terms of coupling-decoupling and to prioritise the explanations of bureaucratic work.

  Arbres et forêt. Le partitionnement récursif comme alternative aux modèles de régression paramétriques dans les sciences sociales. Les modèles de régression paramétrique sont devenus l’outil dominant de la sociologie quantitative. Cette domination n’est pas sans poser problème et de nombreuses critiques ont été exprimées, tant sur le plan statistique qu’épistémologique. Pourtant, le développement de la fouille de données, puis de l’apprentissage automatique, a conduit à l’émergence d’approches méthodologiques permettant de surmonter la plupart des limites des modèles de régression paramétrique, pour les différents types d’utilisation qui intéressent les sciences sociales. Nous soutenons que le partitionnement récursif, en particulier, peut être très utile pour les sciences sociales. En effet, cette approche présente un certain nombre d’avantages techniques par rapport à la régression paramétrique et, surtout, elle est cohérente avec une conception des déterminations sociales en termes de configurations de facteurs interdépendants (et non d’additions de facteurs indépendants). Dans un deuxième temps, nous passons en revue une série d’outils permettant d’interpréter les résultats obtenus par les algorithmes de partitionnement récursif. Ensemble, ils forment une boîte à outils très complète pour les sciences sociales et montrent que le partitionnement récursif n’est plus une boîte noire dès lors que les outils d’interprétation appropriés sont mobilisés. Enfin, nous illustrons les méthodes présentées à l’aide d’exemples sociologiques sur le monde du cinéma. Ce faisant, nous montrons que ces méthodes permettent de traiter différents types de problèmes qui se posent en sciences sociales lorsque des régressions paramétriques sont habituellement utilisées, en l’occurrence l’étude des effets de structure et la hiérarchisation des facteurs explicatifs.

  On the usefulness of the Beckerian concept of “art world” in order to apprehend a multilevel object. The case of theatre projects in working-class neighborhoods. Since the 2000s, there has been renewed reflection on the ways in which Social Scientists should look at the articulation between scales of data analysis and observation. Far from being fixed, these scales can evolve over the course of an investigation, through a dialectical relationship between data analysis and its progressive conceptualization. Based on these reflections, this article illustrates how the articulation between these scales was conceived in my PhD thesis. This comparative ethnographic research focused on theatre projects that took place in working-class neighborhoods and on the emergence of a professional ‘world’, at the intersection of urban and cultural policies, professional theatre, socio-cultural activities and social movements. An initial problem statement was possible thanks to the reading of numerous research works, but I widened my analytical focus following a series of observations in the field. This led me to readjust my methodological tools and to rely on the Beckerian concept of the ‘Art World’. However, some modification to this concept was also necessary in order to make it heuristic for my study. The Beckerian theory proved useful for my study as long as we take into account the existence of ‘power struggles’ between individuals who are differently positioned in the social space (public authorities, artists and related workers, social workers, etc.) and return individual interactions to their original social structure.

  Studying work at ground level. A survey of work in organic farming. Working on an object that has been little explored in sociological literature involves trial and error, which means that the approach to the field must be constantly rethought. This is the case with agricultural work, which has hardly been studied from the point of view of the activity and risks taken by the workers. The aim of this article is to describe the difficulties encountered during the production of Master and a PhD’s thesis on work in organic farming. The aim of this article is to show how, on the basis of a project dealing with occupational health among employees in diversified organic market gardening, the survey made it possible to reveal different work and employment configurations involving the opening up of the field of investigation to all organic vegetable production in the region studied.

  Les expériences des citoyen.nes dans un environnement saturé de politiques publiques. Une contribution méthodologique aux études sur les policy feedbacks depuis l'analyse secondaire de données qualitatives. Au cours des dix dernières années, les études sur les effets-retourdes politiques publiques sur les citoyen.nes (qu’on désigne par policy feedbacks) ont connu un regain d’intérêt. Analysant ces récents développements, plusieurs appels ont été lancés pour élargir ce courant de recherches au-delà des expériences que les citoyen.nes font d’une politique spécifique pour tenir compte, au contraire, de la multiplicité des expériences de politique publique qu'elles et ils ont au cours de leur vie quotidienne. Sur le plan méthodologique cependant, la reconnaissance de la multiplicité des expériences de politiques publiques des citoyen.nes en Europe de l'Ouest remet en question (i) les dispositifs empiriques de recherche et (ii) les inférences causales qui sont courantes dans cette littérature. Dans cet article, nous expliquons comment nous avons relevé ces deux défis en tirant parti des possibilités offertes par l’analyse secondaire qualitative. En réponse au premier défi, nous discutons notre approche, une analyse qualitative comparative et longitudinale de données secondaires sans sélection a priori des politiques publiques considérées. Nous présentons comment nous opérationnalisons dans ces données les expériences et les perceptions multiples des politiques publiques des citoyen.nes. En réponse au deuxième défi, nous construisons théoriquement un troisième mécanisme de feedback, qui est normatif et collectif. Nous discutons également de la manière dont nous étudions empiriquement les normes collectives liées aux expériences multiples de politique publique à partir de données individuelles.
