Daniel Côté is an anthropologist and researcher at the Institut de recherche Robert-Sauvé en santé et en sécurité du travail (IRSST). He obtained a doctorate in anthropology from the Université de Montréal in 2007 after conducting ethnographic research in northern India. Today, his work focuses on the rehabilitation of workers with occupational injuries and the prevention of disabilities.  

His research program focuses on workers in vulnerable situations, and more specifically on the rehabilitation pathways of immigrant workers, and on issues relating to intercultural communication in intervention environments. He is also interested in social inequalities in health, the casualization of work and the phenomenon of stigmatization, taking a critical, systemic look at the pathways of individual experience. One of his most recent publications tackles the subject of mistrust in the workplace, and the rehabilitation pathways of immigrant workers in particular. 

In collaboration with various institutional and community partners, Daniel contributes to the development of best practices in front-line intervention in a pluriethnic context.
