Gabriel Lévesque

Welcome to my webpage! My name is Gabriel and I am a Voss Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Institute at Brown for Environment & Society (IBES).

I study regulatory power, the politics of science and expertise, and the social construction of risk. I completed my PhD in Sociology at McGill University. In my dissertation, titled Structures of Latency: The Protraction of Regulatory Controversies over Toxic Substances, I investigate regulatory change and inertia with a substantive focus on environmental and occupational exposures to toxics in Canada and the U.S.

My recent research has appeared in Theory and Social Inquiry, Public Understanding of Science and Social Science History, among other venues.

If and when I’m not doing research, you can find me in a café, at a museum, or on a basketball court.

Happy to hear from you at gabriel.levesque2@mail.mcgill.ca.
