Vanessa Jérome

Vanessa Jérome is a Green Party Specialist and Associate doctor at the European Center for Sociology and Political Science. She has taught across many schools on topics such as; Political Institutions, Political Parties, Engagement & Activism, Gender Studies, Sociology of Inequalities and others.

For many years, her research focus was on political ecology and environmental activism. Her doctoral thesis on Europe Ecologie Les Verts (EELV) remains the first—and only—long-term participative ethnographic study of the French Green Party. Her recently published book (Militer chez les Verts, Presses de Sciences Po, 2021) takes up the conclusions of the thesis and presents several more recent surveys, including an original study of the French Young Greens.
