Background

Gaëlle Jeanmart is a University of Liège philosophy graduate. Her doctorate of philosophy thesis, supervised by André Motte and Michel Dupuis, examined ‘The mediation of reading in the construction of self. An essay in interpreting Augustine’s Confessions.’

An assistant at the ULg from January 2007 to December 2009, a post financed by the Bernheim Foundation, she is today a lecturer at the same institution.

Her research is above all based on moral philosophy, and more exactly on the genealogy of morality. In addition she is currently working on the writing of two works, one on the ethics of business companies with Thomas Berns and a second one on a philosophical history of lying.

She is an active member of ‘PhiloCité,’ an association of young researchers at the department of philosophy which organizes philosophy workshops for children and teenagers and provides back up support to these workshops through a philosophical and political reflection on pedagogy.
