Biography

I hold a master's degree in Art History from McGill University and a doctorate in Architectural History from the University of Karlsruhe, Germany. I am the author of several articles and monographs on Gothic cathedrals and their architectural drawings. After completing a postdoctoral fellowship at the Chair in Urban Heritage research at ESG-UQAM, where I focused on the study of Quebec Jesuit architecture, I obtained a master's degree in Information Science from the Université de Montréal. My research focuses primarily on cultural metadata, library and archive architecture, and the challenges facing academic libraries. Since 2021, I have been contributing to the creation of the Nipakanatik digital library, dedicated to preserving and disseminating Anicinabe heritage. This project offers graduate students in Information Science the chance to engage with an approach aimed at decolonizing the heritage of the Anicinabe nation, within a context of reconciliation. I am also interested in the creation, preservation, and promotion of zines in academia, recognizing their importance in amplifying the voices of marginalized groups. My studies encompass the Gothic cathedrals of Europe and their architectural drawings, as well as European and North American architectural history.
