Julie Châteauvert

Profil

Having first worked as a speech therapist, Julie Chateauvert completed a Ph.D. in Études et Pratiques des Arts (UQAM), and a postdoctoral fellowship at with the EA Transferts critiques et dynamiques des savoirs at University Paris 8. Her research focuses on the creative narrative within Sign Languages. She studies how artists not only resist various forms of linguistic marginalization but, offer a perspective that reshapes our cultural and corporeal norms, one that transforms the relationships between linguistic and cultural majorities and minorities. Her artistic practice and activism have also enabled her to develop a deep understanding of group facilitation and collaborative research methodologies (art and community-based), as well as self-management (autogestion) and power relations within organizations.
