Maxime Polleri

Maxime Polleri is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at Université Laval and a member of the Graduate School of International Studies.

As an anthropologist of science and technology, he studies the governance of disasters and waste with a focus on nuclear topics.

Dr. Polleri is finishing a book about the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, which will be published by NYU Press in 2025. The manuscript explores how different groups clash and collaborate to govern something as controversial as radiation risks and post-disaster recovery.
