Sandrine Lambert is a doctoral student in anthropology. Her thesis focuses on the political potential of citizen participation in digital fabrication spaces in Barcelona, where she spent 18 months in the field.

She's been dreaming of becoming an anthropologist since she was 17, when she was just a high-school student in Chinon, in France's Loire Valley. After working in the cultural sector as a project coordinator or communications manager, that dream is now coming true, in Canada.

Sandrine is a creative and passionate person. She puts her enthusiasm at the service of her research into the socio-political effects of digital technologies and artificial intelligence.

In addition to book reviews, public texts and open-ed pieces, she published her first peer-reviewed paper on her fieldwork about the makers in Barcelona and then a second one about the Coronavirus Makers the same year (2023) which won a prestigious prize: Prix Relève étoile Paul-Gérin-Lajoie des Fonds de Recherche du Québec (FRQSC).

Sandrine has given several talks and conference papers on techno-utopianism, on makers’ culture, on the links between craft and digital manufacturing and on the societal impacts of artificial intelligence. She’s always open to new collaborations or new projects.
