Giroux Élodie

Professor of Philosophy

University Lyon 3, France

Elodie Giroux is associate professor of philosophy of sciences and medicine at Jean Moulin Lyon 3 University and a researcher at the Institut de Recherches Philosophiques de Lyon (IRPhil). Her work falls within the field of philosophy of medicine and public health, and is rooted in the philosophy of epidemiology. It focuses on the relations and tensions between individual and population levels in the construction of health knowledge and practices. Her main publications have focused on the epistemology and history of modern epidemiology, the definition of health and disease (notably Après Canguilhem, définir la santé et la maladie, P.U.F., 2010), precision medicine and psychiatry and, more recently, environmental health and the exposome. In addition to numerous articles (available on Academia or HAL) and editorships of special journal issues on these subjects, his latest book, co-edited with Y. Fayet and F. Merlin, analyzes the development of integrative approaches in the field of health-environment studies: Integrative Approaches in Environmental Health and Exposome Research: Epistemological and Practical Issues (Palgrave Macmillan Cham, 2023).
