Marc Vandersmissen

Marc Vandersmissen (Liège, 1987) has a unique profile due to his dual experience: on the one hand, he has completed a comprehensive course of study as a specialist in classical and contemporary literature: a Master's degree in teaching (ULiège, 2010), a PhD (FNRS, 2015) and post-doctoral studies (FNRS, 2018-2020). His research has been guided by a common question: how do identities, genres and styles interact with the textual forms used?

Marc Vandersmissen is also interested in education and has taught in various contexts (ULiège, HEL and CrB). He obtained a Master's degree specialising in higher education pedagogy (ULiège, 2022). Between 2023 and today, he has also served as an education expert for the Agency for Quality Assessment in Higher Education (AEQES).

Since 2020, he has been a professor of pedagogical knowledge combined with a scientific approach and research attitudes at the Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles. There, he develops his pedagogical thinking with the help of students from the department. Starting in 2024, he will begin research aimed at identifying the common epistemological spaces between art and pedagogy (IFRES, ULiège): ultimately, isn't pedagogy a form of art?

He also oversees the department's educational coordination, which involves, among other things, participating in the implementation of the reform of initial teacher training.
