Sainsaulieu, Renaud (1935–2002)

Renaud Sainsaulieu was born in Paris on November 4, 1935, and died there on July 26, 2002. After secondary studies in a Jesuit school, he went on to obtain advanced degrees in law and psychology from the Sorbonne. It was there that he committed himself to sociological studies and wrote his doctoral dissertation, with Michel Crozier as his adviser. Named professor of sociology at the Institut d'Études Politiques de Paris in 1975, he managed the Laboratory for the Sociology of Institutional Creation. Sainsaulieu was also one of the main European promoters of sociology outside academia. He created a specific master's program for that purpose, as well as the Association Pour la Sociologie de l'Entreprise, a professional association for in‐house sociologists. He also served as an active member and president of the Association Internationale des Sociologues de Langue Française
