About me
I am a PhD. candidate in philosophy at the université du Québec à Montréal. My supervisor is Mathilde Cambron-Goulet from the department of education and pedagogy. My research is focused on higher education and the institutionnal responsibilities in knowledge dissemination. I have interests in philosophy of education, political philosophy, normative philosophy, and philosophy of science (the topic of expertise, especially in the humanities and social sciences).
In Spring 2024, I was a visiting scholar at University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I worked with Harry Brighouse.
In 2020, I finished my master’s degree in history of medieval philosophy at the université de Montréal under the supervision of David Piché. My dissertation is on the philosophy of Eckhart von Hochheim (Master Eckhart) and the epistemological justifications to the transmission of expert knowledge to the lay public.
