En Quête d’Humanité is the French Red Cross Foundation’s podcast. Each episode features one of the research projects supported by the Foundation. Through original interviews, the podcast aims to bring research to life by sharing the researcher’s story, profiling them, and highlighting how the findings of their work benefit practitioners in humanitarian and social action. A short, simple format designed to make social science research accessible. Available on all platforms.

The fourteenth episode of our podcast “En-Quête d’Humanité” has just been released. It highlights the work of Sonia Bouima, a Ph.D. in social sciences, who explores the profound impact of precariousness on our food and our lives through the SociAlim project.

Far from limiting herself to simply distributing food packages, Sonia invites us to rethink food aid in a holistic way. In this interview, she explores how cooking together and sharing meals—commensality—become powerful tools for social action to break down isolation, restore autonomy, and combat malnutrition.
