Academic Positioning

My qualification as a Maîtresse de Conférence (Associate Professor) in France covers multiple disciplines, including art history, fine arts, philosophy, and modern civilizations. My academic journey has spanned both France and Canada, culminating in a PhD in art history and arts studies, obtained through a joint doctoral program between the University of Quebec in Outaouais and the University of Paris Nanterre.
