Adrien De Sutter

Adrien De Sutter completed his PhD in Sociology at Goldsmiths, University of London. An interdisciplinary researcher specializing in science and technology studies and the history and philosophy of science, his primary focus is on the philosophical, sociological and political implications of the activities of fundamental physics research. 

Adrien De Sutter’s research to date has focussed primarily on the scientific practice of modern physical cosmology, inquiring what it means for the modern story of the universe’s origins and its development to have become a science. Weaving together traditional sociological and anthropological concerns and methodologies, historical analyses, and philosophical reflection, his research seeks to explore the meaning and purpose of cosmology away from more familiar readings of scientific progress in physics and modern rationality.

He has a keen interest in pragmatist and empirical philosophies, and in establishing connections between different intellectual traditions including science studies, history and philosophy of science, continental philosophy, cultural anthropology, and postcolonial thought.
