Loïs Bastide holds a doctorate in sociology from the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon. He is a lecturer in sociology at the University of French Polynesia where he was director of the Department of Letters, Languages and Humanities from 2018 to 2020. He is an associate researcher at the Maison des Sciences de l’Homme du Pacifique (UAR 2503) where, since 2017, he has been leading the research programme "Seizing social change in French Polynesia : Institutions, populations, territory". He is interested in new international migrations, the question of risk, violence as a social phenomenon, disasters and health crisis management, based on fields of investigation located in Southeast Asia, French Polynesia and Europe.

Since 2004, Loïs Bastide has been conducting research on Indonesian labour migration, first internally, then internationally, towards Malaysia and Singapore. Since September 1, 2022, he has been a CNRS delegate at IRASEC, where he is developing the research project "Re-politicizing the transnational : women’s migration and migrant politics between Indonesia, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore". The project aims to produce a political sociology of the new regional labour migrations by highlighting processes of political subjectivation generated by the ordeal of migration, new public arenas structured around the migration issue, and national and transnational public policies aimed at regulating these circulations.
