Guillaume DUMONT

Bio

I am an anthropologist conducting long-term ethnographic fieldwork since 2009. From 2009 to 2015, I studied the work of professional rock climbers in the USA and Europe to, then, spent two years at a business accelerator for social impact start-ups in Barcelona. Between 2019 and 2021, I studied online employment platforms and, since 2021, I am the Principal Investigator of Veus-Raval, a 5-year ethnographic project on the Barcelona's narcotics market. I have authored the book “Professional Climber: Creative Work in Sport” (EHESS, 2018) and co-edited “The Professionalization of Action Sports” (Routledge, 2022), alongside publishing in Organizational Research Methods, Ethnography, Consumption Markets and Society, the Journal of Business Research, among others journals. I am member of the editorial board of Qualitative Research.
