Blandine is a lecturer in Human Resource Management and the Future of Work at the University of Bristol Business School. Her academic interests lie with social actors’ experimentation with the creation, questioning and improvement of human resource management (HRM) practices across an array of industries. So far, her research has focused on work and employment conditions of business process outsourcing workers in the global south (Mauritius), HRM and employment relations in the aerospace industries of Canada and Mexico, and the rethinking of HRM practices pertaining to staffing, skill development and equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in non-profit organisations such as trade unions in Canada and Spain. Over time, Blandine has also developed an ontological interest in less privileged workers, and this has led her to delve into the case of temporary migrant workers in Canada both as a researcher and an activist. Also multilingual, Blandine has developed much awareness to socio-cultural idiosyncrasies and differences in the various geographical contexts in which she has lived and worked. Blandine has published in English (for instance, in Work, Employment and Society), French (Relations Industrielles/Industrial Relations (RIIR) -Canada) and Spanish. Her concomitant interest in methodological innovation has led her towards film-based sociology, fiction writing and action-research with which she was brought to engage in an academic context in Montreal, Canada, before joining the University of Bristol business school.
